Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Thug Life is making headlines for unexpected reasons. A recent ban on the veteran actor in Karnataka has sparked widespread discussion.
The controversy began when actor Kamal Haasan remarked that “Kannada was born from Tamil,” sparking backlash from the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) and various pro-Kannada organizations who demanded an apology.
Kamal Haasan, however, has remained silent on the matter. In response, theatre exhibitors in Karnataka announced they would not screen his upcoming film Thug Life unless an apology was issued. As tensions escalated, Raaj Kamal Films International approached the Karnataka High Court seeking protection and assurance for the film’s smooth release in the state.
Meanwhile, the KFCC scheduled a crucial meeting today at 11:30 AM in Bengaluru to deliberate on the issue and decide the next course of action. Directed by Mani Ratnam, Thug Life is one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema, and the controversy has only heightened public interest.
Fans and industry insiders are rallying in support of Haasan, criticizing the ban and praising his bold cinematic choices. Kamal, on the other hand, is in no mood to apologize. Social media is abuzz with discussions, and the film’s teaser has seen a surge in views.
