Vetrimaaran Reacts To Madras High Courts Blanket Ban On Posters & Teasers Of Bad Girl

The Madras High Court on July 18, ordered the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to remove the teaser of the Tamil film Bad Girl from YouTube. The reason given is that film and its pre-release content sexualise minors and could corrupt the minds of young viewers.

In his order Justice P Dhanabal said, “If the children see the said contents of the videos, certainly it will spoil the mind of the children. It is the duty of the State to protect the children in all respect. It is the social responsibility of every citizen to protect the children.”

Bad Girl is a Tamil coming-of-age drama written and directed by Varsha Bharath, starring Anjali Sivaraman in the lead role. The film is produced and presented by Vetrimaaran. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on 5 September 2025.

When Subhash K Jha reached out to the iconic Vetrimaaran he replied, “We are going to courts with a petition so right now I cannot say anything. Will get back to you once we are cleared. Thank you.”
