Controversy

Porkalathil Oru Poo was refused clearance and banned by the Censor Board of India after it was reviewed by its member S. Ve. Shekher on the grounds it would damage ties with Sri Lanka. The filmmakers have said they plan to challenge the ban.
On 8 October 2016, Justice T. S. Sivagnanam of the Madras High Court upheld the decision of the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal's denial for certification of the film. He added that Isaipriya's mother and sister also opposed the release of the movie, fearing that it may affect their current life.
The music for the film is composed by Ilaiyaraaja.
