Activists of a pro-Tamil outfit on Friday allegedly attacked Jayaram’s house at Valasaravakkam in Chennai, protesting the actor’s comments on a Malayalam television channel on his domestic help, who is a Tamil.

They damaged furniture and a car at Jayaram’s house. Police personnel posted at the place chased and apprehended eight of the accused persons. The attack took place even as the actor expressed regret for his remarks saying that they were made in a lighter vein.

Meanwhile, an advocate has filed a complaint before a magistrate court at Egmore in Chennai against Jayaram for “making a derogatory remark against Tamil women”.

In the complaint, A.Indirani of Chintadripet stated that the actor had made the remark on the television channel. When a journalist from a Tamil magazine sought a clarification, he had not expressed regret and said he had made the comment in a lighter vein.
