Director S.J. Surya has had to battle it out with each of his films getting unsavory publicity. His latest venture, BF, has been assaulted by political outfits, which wanted a change of title for the film. Surya stood his ground for some time. However, distributors are wary of buying the film in the prevailing political climate wherein unpopular releases cannot be screened. Bowing to the distributors’ pressure, Surya has changed his mind and decided to change the name. He has also splashed ads in newspapers offering a prize of Rs. 1 lakh to the lucky person whose caption is chosen.
