Santhanam’s controversial dialogue deleted from Endrendrum Punnagai

The makers of Endrendrum Punnagai have reportedly removed one of the dialogues of comedian Santhanam from both the trailer and the film as it was not well-accepted by the audience. Several women's rights groups staged protests against the dialogue as it was a sexist remark and derogatory towards women.

Revealing the latest development a source said, "The original trailer was an uncensored one, and was shown only to a closed group of audience — during the audio launch. Unfortunately, this trailer was uploaded online instead of the censored one. Since Santhanam had come under criticism only recently for his parody of the anti-smoking campaign commercial, it became easy for people to target him through this." The same dialogue was used by Santhanam in his 2006-film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal but somehow it missed the women rights groups’ scrutiny at that point of time, it seems.
