Sunny Wayne, Lukman distance themselves from 'Turkish Tharkkam' row

The article from Onmanorama discusses the controversy surrounding the Malayalam film "Turkish Tharkkam," directed by Lukman Avaran and starring Sunny Wayne. The film has stirred debate due to its portrayal of a character named Tharkkam, who is depicted as a Muslim man with a penchant for women, which some viewers and critics argue perpetuates negative stereotypes. The controversy escalated when a scene from the film, where Tharkkam is seen with multiple women, went viral, leading to accusations of the film promoting Islamophobia. In response, Sunny Wayne defended the film, stating that it was intended as a satire and not meant to offend any community. He emphasized that the character was inspired by real-life observations and was not a generalization of any group. Lukman Avaran also clarified that the film aimed to critique societal hypocrisies rather than target any religion. Despite these explanations, the film has sparked a broader conversation about representation and sensitivity in cinema.
