My name is Billa

On a supposed teaser trailer of Billa 2007, which is a remake of the "original" Billa. The 'original' Billa itself was a remake of the original Don. Now, it remains to be seen if Billa 2007 will be a remake of the "original" Billa, the original Don or the new Don.

But, it definitely dawned on me that, if this YouTube video is to be believed, there aren't too many educated people around.

First,
Lacking the right punctuation, the above seems to mean that the greatest underdog story spent 27 years in Tamil before going elsewhere now. Also, I think the makers of this trailer meant to say, "underworld dog", rather than "underdog". Billa is, by no means, an underdog.

Next,
'ண' instead of 'ன' thrice in two short lines above. And, as if compensating for that is விஷ்னுவர்தன் below:

Wonder if "Save Tamil" proponents will save Tamil from native speakers of Tamil.
