On June 5, 2025, Kamal Haasan is due to premiere his new movie, Thug Life, in cinemas. Yet, due to controversy over his recent comment about the Kannada language, the Minister of Culture in Karnataka has proposed a total prohibition on his films.
According to an article in Hindustan Times, Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi said, “I sent a letter. Following this, the Film Chamber of Commerce announced a press conference the day before yesterday, stating that if he doesn’t issue an apology within two days, they will ban his movie.
We won’t release his movies unless he offers an apology for any derogatory remarks towards Kannada. Any such comments will not be accepted. If no apology is given, we’ll make our decision,” the minister stated, adding that he has asked actor Shiva Rajkumar to discuss this matter with Kamal Haasan.
In relation to the discussion, the minister’s comments are a response to Kamal Haasan’s statements during the Thug Life audio launch event. At this gathering, the actor expressed an opinion that Kannada originated from Tamil, likening the two languages to being part of the same family – a viewpoint that sparked controversy among many residents in Karnataka.
Later on, when asked about apologizing for his statement, Kamal Haasan said, “I’ve faced threats in the past. If I was incorrect, I will issue an apology; if not, I won’t. This is my way of life; please respect it and don’t try to change it.
Moving onto the professional side of Haasan, the seasoned Tamil film actor is gearing up for his comeback on the big screen with the action-packed thriller titled Thug Life. This movie revolves around the character of Rangaraya Sakthivel Naicker, a figure reminiscent of Yakuza gangsters.
Supposed to be deceased, Rangaraya emerges alive, harboring doubts about his foster son, Amaran, being behind his fall from grace. This leads to a lethal confrontation between them, with just one survivor emerging victorious.
Featuring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR as its leading actors, this movie boasts a talented lineup that includes Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Joju George, and more in key positions.
In the upcoming events, it’s predicted that Haasan will star in KH237, a production led by the acclaimed action choreographers AnbArivu.
