Karthi was one of the many guests who attended the audio launch of Kollywood movie ‘July Kaatril’. The event anchored by yesteryear actress Kasthuri was considered to be a grand success. In an attempt to make the evening fun-filled and entertaining, Kasthuri went next to Karthi who was on stage and tried clicking a selfie. While posing she said, “As your dad is not around, let me take a selfie with you.”

This did not go well with Karthi and he did not take a selfie with the anchor. Instead, he went up to the mic and said, “These days people don’t even realize that it’s indecent to take a selfie without asking prior permission. With flashlights in the front and back side of the mobile phones, selfies will affect an individual who has migraine issues.”

Post this, Kasthuri was brutally trolled and advised by the netizens for unwanted comments. Responding to the troll, Kasthuri tweeted, “It was done as a publicity stunt and it worked miraculously. To all those who were frustrated with this controversy, y’all must watch film ‘July kaatril’. Its Show Biz Guys ! #GetTheRealPicture”

So much for publicity?
