Amid Kannada language row, Kamal Haasan takes bold stance on Hindi imposition in south: 'I stand with Karnataka, Andhra'

He may be embroiled in a controversy regarding his comments on a language, but Kamal Haasan still won't shy away from sharing his two bits on the issue of the imposition of Hindi in the south. The actor spoke about Hindi imposition while promoting his new film, Thug Life, and made it clear where he stands. (Also read: Abhishek Banerjee, Rana Daggubati react to row over Kamal Haasan's Kannada comment: 'Same about Marathi-Bihari…') 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 was not released in Karnataka. "I am the actor from Ek Duuje Ke Liye...,' Haasan told PTI, 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, 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.' 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. Marred by the controversy and negative reviews, Thug Life has had a slow start at the box office. The mega film has earned just ₹30 crore net in India in its first three days.

Snow White OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Rachel Zegler & Gal Gadot's Disney musical fantasy in India

Snow White OTT Release Date: If you're a sucker for fairy tales with a big-budget twist, here's some good news: Disney's much-awaited live-action take on Snow White is finally making its way to India. And no, you don't need to wait for a theatrical release, it's heading straight to OTT. The film will start streaming on JioHotstar from June 11, 2025, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. What more do we know about Snow White? This new Snow White is a high-gloss reimagining with a fresh script, new music, and an updated take on some familiar characters. At the heart of it is Rachel Zegler (of West Side Story fame), playing the iconic role of Snow White. Opposite her is Gal Gadot, far removed from her Wonder Woman armour, playing the Evil Queen with a deliciously dark flair. Directed by Marc Webb, best known for The Amazing Spider-Man films, the movie takes the basic bones of the 1937 animated classic and builds something bigger. Webb teams up with screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson and producer Marc Platt (of La La Land and The Little Mermaid 2023) to craft a more contemporary version of the tale. One big shift is in the supporting characters. Instead of the original seven dwarfs, this version introduces a more diverse group of magical beings, portrayed using a mix of voice acting and motion capture. Actors like Tituss Burgess, Martin Klebba, and Andrew Barth Feldman lend their talents to this updated ensemble. The love interest, too, gets a makeover - enter Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, a rebellious and slightly roguish bandit who brings freshness to the story. The music, a key ingredient in any Disney musical, is all-new but heavily inspired by the legacy of the original. The soundtrack features original songs written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriting duo behind The Greatest Showman and La La Land. Visually, Snow White is every bit a Disney spectacle. Lavish costumes, sweeping set designs, and high-end CGI give the story a grand scale. Snow White's plot overview The plot follows the general arc we all know - Snow White loses her father, becomes a servant in her own palace, and is hunted by a power-obsessed stepmother. But this time around, Snow's not just running and hiding. She's finding allies, building strength, and pushing back against the darkness. There's still a poisoned apple and a magic mirror, but the film leans into themes of self-worth and empowerment more than the classic did.
