Will take legal recourse against ban on Kamal Hassan film Vishwaroopam

[Agnostic_Indian]

Actor-director Kamal Hassan today
said he will take legal recourse on
Tamil Nadu government's ban on
screening of his film 'Vishwaroopam'
following protests by Muslim outfits,
saying "such cultural terrorism"
should stop.
"I have been ruthlessly used as a
vehicle by small groups who seek
political profile. Icon bashing is a
great way to be noticed when you are
not one yourself.
It is happening again and again. Any
neutral and patriotic Muslim will surely
feel pride on seeing my film. It was
designed for that purpose," he said in
a statement here.
The actor, who had held a special
show for Muslim representatives
recently, said while he was touched
by voices in support of his film he
was "appalled" at how the movie was
"construed to be against my Muslim
brothers."
"I am not only hurt by these
accusations of denigrating a
community but my sensibilities are
truly insulted. Now I will rely on law
and logic to come to our support.
This kind of cultural terrorism will
have to stop," he said.
He said his statements in favour of
that community have "marked me as
a sympathiser."
"I have always gone beyond the call
of my duty as an actor to voice my
opinion in favour of what was humane
and civil. I have been part of an
organisation called Harmony India
which worked for Hindu-Muslim
amity," he said while thanking those
who supported him on the matter,
especially on the internet.
Tamil Nadu government had last night
asked district administrations across
the state to invoke relevant legal
provisions to ban the screening of the
movie for about two weeks to maintain law and order. The
ban came after several Muslim outfits
protested against screening of the
film, due for release tomorrow,
claiming that it depicted the
community in negative light.
The actor had already courted
controversy with screen-owners
uniting against the tech-savvy actor's
decision to release the high-budget
movie on DTH platform ahead of its
release in theatres.

The state government's sudden decision to
ban Kamal Hassan's much-hyped
Vishwaroopam has come under severe
scrutiny from various quarters. Especially in
media and on social networking sites, people
are pitching in their support to the
Ulaganayagan and blasting the government
for stopping the release for 15 days in Tamil
Nadu.
Bowing down to the demands of several
Muslim groups, the state government took a
tough call on the grounds that the content of
multilingual movie Vishwaroopam could
disturb the communal harmony. The
protesters, who saw the film recently at a
special screening, were not happy with some
parts that lead them to demand for a ban.
However, the ban is garnering a strong
objection on social networking sites with
celebrities openly criticising the
government's decision and urging the
government to lift the ban on
Vishwaroopam . Here, we are bringing you
some of the tweets posted by well-known
personalities.
Of all tweets, the surprising support came
from spiritual guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He
wrote, "India is a free country. Kamal
Hassan has been gifted with unique talents.
He has the right to express his views &
creativity unobstructed."

Worst logic given by the supporters of the the ban.

They don't protest against Owasi who ridicule Hinduism but object on a movie because they show a terrorist reading Quran, performing Namaz and shouting Allah O Akbar.

Yaar you guys always try to prove that Muslims live better in pakistan than in India. There are numerous threads.

You have taken Theka of Muslims around the world.

I am just telling how much Pakistani people care and you deny it. Another case of Denial.

Muslims are bigger than "Indian film Censor board". I think Indian Muslim Kongress should made Saeed Saheb Chairman of Indian Film Censor board...



And Illiyas Kashmiri to monitor Indian Media... (print and television)

While you guys always try to prove the muslims of india are better living in india-
You guys have taken theka of posting any unrelated news involving muslims just to make them look bad- while maintaining stupid rhetorics of all equak in shinning india-

And i am just telling you how much hindu indians really care for their muslim country men-
Any bad news involving them is posted here- even a rape or child molestation- while countless daily rapes done by hindus are ignored- a blind eye and flying fcuk is given to them in the name of hindu indianism-

Its you who is in denial- orange saffron denial that is-

Muslims are bigger than "Indian film Censor board". I think Indian Muslim Kongress should made Saeed Saheb Chairman of Indian Film Censor board...



And Illiyas Kashmiri to monitor Indian Media... (print and television)

Just throw them out in the ocean and get over with your communial problem- -

@JonAsad Rapes, Child Molestation and Saffron terror.

Can't argue further.
