The Karnatak High Court raped the actors and chief MNM Kamal Haasan for his controversial remarks that “Kannada was born from Tamil”. While he listened to a petition that seeks the directions to take no measures to detain the film of the acting film to be released, the court said, “You can be Kamal Haasan or anyone, you can’t hurt your LAG sentiment.”
“There is no apology. You can be Kamal Haasan or anyone, you can’t hurt the LAG sentiment. The division of this country is on linguistic lines. A public character cannot make such statements.
The Court of Justice questioned Haasan’s expertise in the statement and said “on what basis you made a statement, you are a historian, a linguist. On what basis did you speak? (Sic)”

Haasan’s note that “Kannada was born from Tamil”, which was made during the sound of its “Thug Life” in Chennai in the last week of May, caused controversy and caused protests in the neighboring state.
With the planned “Thug Life”, he intervened on June 5 in the cinema, Kamal Haasan, who refused to offer an apology for “saying the truth”, moved the High Court in Karnataka and sought the direction for the film.
What did Karnataka HC said
While he quoted an example of Rajgopal Achary, who made a similar statement 75 years ago, the court said that, just as Acharya apologized, Haasan apology would be appropriate instead of asking for protection for the release of his film.
The bench said, “You know the importance of the movie and says that Mani Ratnam is made but you can’t make a statement (apology).”
“For your own creation, you want police machines to support now. The language is a sentiment to people. You are not an ordinary man, you are a public character. People who write on social media are also investigated,” the court added.
The court also said: “The fundamental right to speech and expression cannot be stretched to be injured by sentiments of the LAG.”
Why petition haasan karnataka hc
On Monday, which predicted disruption on the release of his upcoming film on Monday, he turned to the Karnataka High Court and was looking for an urgent intervention for the smooth release of the film and reasonable security in theaters planning to show him. The film is scheduled to release on June 5th.
Haasan’s step follows the announcement of the Karnataka Film Chamber (KFCC) of the boycott of the film if the actor publicly apologizes for his recent remark that “Cannada language comes from Tamil”.

According to the PTI report in a written petition submitted by Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International, the actor asked to limit any individual, groups or authority – including KFCC officials and civil servants – from the screening of the film in Karnataka. The petition was also looking for police protection for the cast of film, crew, theater owner and audience and quoted the potential threats of disturbance.
Meanwhile, he spoke to PTI, the President of KFCC Marasimhal repeated the booth of the Chamber. “Let Kamal Haasana go to court. We did nothing illegal. But we will not allow the” criminal “projection in Karnataka if he apologizes,” Zarasimhal said.
What Haasan’s petition said
The producers of the film claimed that Haasan’s notes were excluded from context and intended to express cultural harmony between the people of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The petition said that the statement was made during the cordial interaction with the super -star Kannada Shiva Rajkumar, which also allegedly prevented Haasan’s intention.
“The package was unfounded and based on deliberate incorrect interpretation,” the petition added, claiming that the release of the film should not be held hostage about the wrong reading of the actor’s words, PTI reported.
There were also reports that the South Indian Chamber of Commerce contacted Haasan to try to convey the situation.
Thug Life, a high -ranking film directed by the acclaimed Mani Ratnam, refers to his second cooperation with Kamal Haasan after the cult classic Nayakan. The film contains a star cast including Trisha Krishnan and Silambarasan TR, with a music composed of Oscar AR Rahman. The estimated budget for production is around £300 crore.
