Demons in Paradise debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. “Maybe the organisers didn’t expect this reaction when they scheduled Demons in Paradise. Film-maker Malaka Devapriya pulled his own film Bahuchithawadiya from the festival in protest against the removal of Demons in Paradise from the program. I wanted it to end, even if my own people had to be killed,” the Tamil filmmaker told the BBC. “This is the way the Tamil community reacts – this is the political culture within the community that is now getting exposed.”
