Kamal Haasan thanks TN for supporting him on language row
Chennai: Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan who stood his ground refusing to apologise for his 'Kannada was born from Tamil' remark, thanked Tamil Nadu for firmly backing him during the controversy. "I thank Tamil Nadu for standing with me," Kamal said in his first public appearance since the controversy broke out. I now feel the true meaning of the words Uyire (my life), Urave (my kin), Tamizhe, which I say often" Kamal said at an event organised here on Wednesday to promote his movie 'Thug Life. ' Though he did not delve further into the controversy, Kamal expressed gratitude for the support from several politicians, film personalities, activists and authors for his remarks on Kannada. Municipal administration minister K N Nehru too extended support to Kamal saying that south Indian languages originated from Tamil. Even after the Karnataka high court rapped Kamal, the actor remained defiant and refused to apologise stating that 'love does not apologise.' Though the movie is releasing worldwide on June 5, Kamal has chosen not to release it in Karnataka where political outfits as well as the film industry demanded an apology from him for the remark. Film industry insiders say that the film could have done a business of upto 35 crore in Karnataka given the fact that his earlier hit Vikram's box office collection in Karnataka was around 22 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo However, the 35 crore estimate would be the total collection out of which the producer's share would be around 10 to 12 crores. Tamil film producers say that Bengaluru is the only big market for Tamil films in Karnataka and there was a likelihood of Kamal fans driving down to Hosur which is 40 kms to watch Thug Life. In any case, there is also the possibility for a settlement with Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce enabling the film's release in Karnataka.

Alexander Zverev set to face Novak Djokovic in Roland Garros quarterfinal clash
Zverev and Djokovic set for Roland Garros quarterfinal Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic will meet in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, a rematch of their Australian Open semifinal earlier this year. Djokovic retired from that match due to a left leg injury, but he enters the Paris encounter without reported health concerns and has not dropped a set in the tournament. Zverev, ranked World No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings, has also shown consistent form, losing only one set en route to the final eight. Djokovic holds an 8-5 advantage in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series, including a 1-1 split on clay. The two have not faced each other on clay since the 2019 Roland Garros semifinals, when Djokovic won in straight sets.

Zverev, however, has reached the semifinals or better in Paris each of the past four years. Djokovic's consistency versus Zverev's momentum The 24-time Grand Slam winner continues to produce high-level results despite a slow start to the season. Djokovic reached the Miami Masters 1000 final and recently secured his 100th tour-level title in Geneva. Live Events At Roland Garros, Djokovic's tactical strength and ability to move opponents around the court remain key elements of his success. While Zverev's game relies on a powerful serve and solid backhand, the German may have an edge in endurance and rally length due to his youth. Zverev dismissed suggestions that Djokovic could be considered a dark horse in this tournament. He named Carlos Alcaraz as the primary favorite, followed by Jannik Sinner , himself, and Djokovic in contention. Sinner meets Bublik in opposite quarterfinal On the other side of the draw, Jannik Sinner will face Alexander Bublik in the Roland Garros quarterfinals. Sinner is aiming for his first French Open title and his third consecutive Grand Slam championship. He has won all four matches in Paris with dominant performances, though he now meets an unpredictable opponent in Bublik. Also read: French Open players often make schedule requests. No one wanted to miss the Champions League final Bublik, playing in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, has already eliminated two Top 10 seeds, Alex de Minaur and Jack Draper. Known for his powerful and unconventional playing style, Bublik could pose a challenge to Sinner's rhythm and consistency. Sinner holds a 3-1 advantage in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. This will mark their first meeting on clay, with previous contests split between hard and grass surfaces. Sinner's campaign in Paris reflects his growth across surfaces, as he continues to pursue a Grand Slam title beyond his favored hard courts.
