London, Nov 8 : A film showing Turkey''s founding hero, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as a frustrated loner and heavy drinker with a smoking habit, has caused an uproar in the country where he is worshipped.

Titled Mustafa, the film was released on the 85th anniversary of the Turkish Republic founded by Ataturk.

Seen by nearly half a million people in its first five days, Mustafa is playing to packed audiences that include busloads of schoolchildren.

But, an apparently human portrayal of the man has upset many in the secularist establishment.

“This adds up to 18 and indicates people naturally go to him with problems and difficulties,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying of how he saw the new hero’s first name ‘Barack’.
