Mani Ratnam’s film “Thug Life” sparked debate when it was prohibited from showing in all of Karnataka, following a comment made by Kamal Haasan during the film’s pre-release event that offended the feelings of those who speak Kannada.
With only one day remaining before its release, the film has been given approval for exclusive screenings in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu government allows special morning shows for Thug Life
According to the most recent decree from the Tamil Nadu government, they’ve given approval for a total of five unique programs to be broadcast during the early hours, starting at 9 AM, and running all the way until 2 AM the following day.
The change was implemented following a specific demand made by the CEO of Raaj Kamal Films International, who oversees the film’s production.
The decision has added even more anticipation among viewers, eagerly waiting to catch the gangster action-thriller unfold on the cinema screens.
Kamal Haasan agreed to stall Thug Life’s screening in Karnataka
Following the KFCC ban, Kamal Haasan sought recourse at the High Court, asking for fair consideration and protection of his safety. In addition, he formally expressed in writing that his words had been misconstrued.
Because there was no sign of an apology as requested by the KFCC in his letter, the court decided to maintain their stance that a discussion between the two parties is necessary prior to granting the film screening rights in Karnataka.
Consequently, the senior Tamil actor concurred and declared that his movie would not be shown in its entirety across Karnataka until they had discussed and resolved their disagreements with the relevant parties.
Why did Kamal Haasan upset Kannada-speaking people?
As a fervent admirer, I found myself at the center of a dispute between me and the Kannada Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), following my assertion that Kannada originated from Tamil. This statement, it seems, caught many off guard, leading some to view it as diminishing the stature of another ancient language.
