I apologise to all of the good and kind tamizh people who felt offended: Dulquer Salmaan

Dulquer Salmaan has extended his apology statement to all the Tamils who felt offended by a joke in his latest Malayalam film Varane Avashyamund, where the character of Suresh Gopi calls his pet dog by the name Prabhakara, which has earned the wrath of slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran’s ardent followers.

To all those who were offended. I apologise. And I also apologise on behalf of #VaraneAvashyamund and @DQsWayfarerFilm ! pic.twitter.com/erbjftlNbj
