In 1970, the state government, led by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, had been calling for a ban on the film Mohammed Bin Thuglak, directed by the writer and political commentator Cho Ramaswamy. The film was based on a 1968 theatre production of the same name and was a satirical take on the state politics of the time. Karunanidhi did not appreciate it, more so since both the Lok Sabha and state assembly elections were due to be held in 1971. Vaali, who wrote the three songs in the film, said that he had to plead with Cho to wrap up quickly and release it because MGR, who was then still allied with Karunanidhi, was applying mounting pressure on Vaali to leave the project.
Over his lifetime, Vaali had been contemptuous of the media, especially when it tried to pry into his marital affairs, and had also criticised the declining quality of song lyrics since the days of Kalyana Sundaram and Kannadasan. Apart from songs, Vaali also wrote film scripts, screenplays and dialogues, as in Kadavul Amaiththa Maedai (A Platform Established by God; 1979) and Orey Oru Graamathile (In A Village; 1987), which was particularly controversial for its depiction of casteism. He also starred in television serials like Kaialavu Manasu (The Heart Is As Long As the Hand), Vikramadhithan, Thangamaana Purushan (Precious Husband) and Amutha Oru Aacharyakuri (Amutha Is An Exclamation). 2ff7e9595c
