  "account": "On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the BJP's State unit president Nainar Nagenthran voiced his disapproval of TVK MLA Madhar Badhurudeen's (also known as V.M.S. Mustafa) remarks on the Tamil movie Amaran, a biopic of Major Mukund Varadarajan. In a social media post, Nagenthran questioned, \"If a movie is made on the truth about terrorists from Pakistan, how can it be considered as if it is against Muslims? Why is Mr. Mustafa not able to tolerate if a terrorist is punished?\" He further urged the TVK founder and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, C. Joseph Vijay, to reprimand Mustafa.\n\nRecently, Mustafa had stated in an interview with journalists in Madurai that Muslims were depicted in a negative light in the 2024 blockbuster film Amaran and questioned why the former DMK government had not condemned it.",
