VZ Durai's new film has been curiously titled as 'Hindu Nesan'. Why was 'Hindu Nesan' in the news on November 8, 1944?

Hindu Nesan was a yellow journal that dished out the dirt on many celebs. On November 8th in 1944, its key columnist - CN Lakshmikanthan, was murdered. Actors NS Krishnan & MK Thyagaraja Bhagavathar were unfortunately implicated in this case. They had to undergo a 30-month sentence for the same.
