Ever since she signed the Tamil film 10 Endrathukulla, Samantha has always been talking high about the film saying that it is her dream project. The film was released in October and had a decent opening at the box-office. Currently, 10 Endrathukulla is having a jittery run and is heading to become an average venture.
Recently, when a fan tweeted Samantha's smoking pictures from the film, an elated Sam replied to him saying, "who knew playing evil could be such fun !!! Loved it !!" However, looks like Samantha's happiness is short lived as the Tamil Hindu right wing party Hindu Makkal Katchi took offense of those pictures and demanded an unconditional apology from Samantha for her smoking act.
The HMK's state secretary Veera Manikyam Siva alleged that Samantha is endorsing smoking among the younger generation and that it will lead many women to follow suit and afflict deadly diseases like breast cancer. The leader further warned Samantha saying that the party will stage protests in front of Samantha's residence if she fails to tender her apology.
The leader further demanded Samantha to even delete those pictures from her social networking page and that they will send her cigarette and tobacco packets if she fails to comply with their demands.
