Vijay-starrer Sarkar has been embroiled in controversies ever since it was announced by the makers. To start off with, the Tobacco Regulations of Tamil Nadu issued a notice to Sun Pictures, the producers, to not have any posters with Vijay smoking in it. And after the release, director A.R.Murugadoss was slammed by the government of Tamil Nadu for showing the free schemes of the ruling parties in poor light in the film. And now, A.R.Murugadoss has been instructed by the government of Tamil Nadu to tender an unconditional apology to the government for the objectionable scenes in Sarkar. Murugadoss has also been asked to give an undertaking in writing that he will not show any such references in his future films. And reacting to all these, Sarkar director A.R.Murugadoss has refused to apologize for any part of the film and has made his stance clear on the issue. Murugadoss has also said that he will not give any undertaking about his future films and will continue to make films with political references. Murugadoss has also told the Madras High Court, where the plea is being heard, that criticising the schemes of any political party is right to free speech and by asking to tender an apology, he is being denied of his rights. Earlier, political party workers of AIADMK staged a protest in Chennai asking A.R.Murugadoss to tender an apology for showing the free schemes in poor light in his film Sarkar.

Standing in support of A.R.Murugadoss, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan tweeted and said Sarkar has been certified and the government, in their act, is now denying people to express their views. Read his tweet here:
Sarkar has been certified by CBFC. Yet Government dares to muffle the right of people to express. This is not democracy. Fascism was defeated before, will be done again. @ARMurugadoss
