We will learn without imposition: Kamal Haasan on three-language policy
The ruling DMK in his home state Tamil Nadu has long opposed the three-language policy introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) Press Trust of India New Delhi Where does Kamal Haasan stand on the issue of imposition of Hindi in the south? I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra, is his quick reply. The pan-India superstar's latest film Thug Life, the 234th in a 65-year career, released in theatres this week amid controversy over his comment that Kannada was born out of Tamil. He refused to apologise and the film did not release in Karnataka. "I am the actor from 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye'..., Haasan told PTI during a recent visit to the news agency's headquarters, referring to his 1981 hit Hindi film about a Tamil boy and his romance with his Hindi speaking neighbour. Without imposition, we will learn. Don't impose, because this is ultimately education and we must take the shortest route to education and not put hurdles in its way," the actor said. The ruling DMK in his home state Tamil Nadu has long opposed the three-language policy introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP). The party has repeatedly accused the BJP-led NDA government of attempting to impose Hindi, a charge the Centre has denied. Stressing that the imposition of a particular language only hampers the learning process, the 70-year-old said, "I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra. This is not only place which is resenting imposition." The Indian cinema stalwart, hugely popular in the south as well as in the north with films such as Nayakan, Thevar Magan, "Sadma", "Saagar" and Chachi 420" that bridged language divides, said if you are truly looking at international breakthrough you must learn one language. And English seems to be fair enough. You can do Spanish also, or Chinese. But I think the most practical thing where the shortest route to that is that we have 350 years of English education, slowly but steadily. So when you suddenly replace it, it's all over again. You make unnecessarily many people illiterate, especially in Tamil Nadu. "You suddenly force all through Hindi and you tell them that you will not get your job beyond the Vindhyas, then you start wondering, what about the promises? What about my language? Am I not one of the 22 (official languages)? These are the questions that are coming." Tamil is one of the 22 official languages of the country, apart from Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had said it would not let Thug Life release unless Haasan apologised for his Kannada-Tamil comment at a promotional event in Chennai. His banner Raajkamal Films International filed a plea before the Karnataka High Court seeking protection for the release of the film, which sees him reuniting with Mani Ratnam after Nayakan in 1987. After a rap from the court over the remark, the producers said Thug Life will not be released in Karnataka.

Raashii Khanna Oozes Glamour In Sultry Black Outfit, Fans Can't Get Enough
Last Updated: Raashii Khanna stuns in a black sequin gown in her latest Instagram post. Her fiery caption and bold look have fans raving. See the photos that broke the internet. Raashii Khanna just set Instagram ablaze with her latest photo dump — and fans can't stop talking about it. Dressed in a stunning black sequinned gown with a daring slit and deep neckline, the actress oozed elegance, power, and poise in a shoot that's equal parts ethereal and edgy. The caption she chose? As fierce as the fit: 'All ice on the outside, all fire where it counts."🔥 Styled by the team at Bhawna Rao Luxury, with jewellery by Mr Jewels, the look brought together glam couture and unapologetic boldness. Raashii paired the shimmering halter-neck number with a sleek updo, dramatic earrings, and confident body language that instantly made this a standout moment in her fashion feed. In a series of nine images, she is seen posing behind translucent white drapes, channelling a mix of mystique and magnetism. Her expressions range from statuesque grace to quiet defiance — and it's clear she's in full control of the visual narrative. Each photo shows off the textured detailing of the gown, accentuating her statuesque silhouette and adding dimension to the black-on-black aesthetic. But it's not just the outfit that's grabbing attention. The caption seems to carry deeper meaning — a quiet flex of power and restraint. Known for her fierce screen presence and diverse acting roles, Raashii seems to be offering fans a glimpse into the duality she embodies — calm elegance on the surface, passionate fire underneath. The post, set to Charlie Jeer's Her Eyes, further enhances the mood with ambient, soul-stirring energy that matches the visuals. Raashii Khanna was last seen in Aghathiyaa, a Tamil film co-starring Arjun Sarja, Jiiva and Raashii Khanna in lead roles. In one of her interviews as part of her professional endeavours, Raashii Khanna highlighted her views on the complexities of the Hindi language. She said, 'Some of the South Indians told me how difficult Hindi is. They are unable to understand the genders in the language. They just gave up on Hindi. At that time, I understood that humari bhi bhasha thodi mushkil hai." About Aghathiyaa, the PA Vijay directorial film was released in theatres in February this year. The horror film also features Edward Sonnenblick, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Radha Ravi, Nizhagal Ravi and others in pivotal roles. Next up, Raashii Khanna will be seen in Telusu Kada, directed by renowned stylist Neeraja Kona in her directorial debut.
