Actor Kamal Haasan Loses Cool Over Sword Gift Stunt at MNM Meet Amid Language Row Fallout
Tempers flared at a Makkal Needhi Maiam meeting in Chennai as party chief Kamal Haasan lost his cool after a supporter attempted to gift him a sword on stage. Initially smiling for the cameras, Haasan quickly turned angry as the situation spiraled into chaos. A police officer intervened and secured the weapon, while security removed the man. Known for his rationalist and non-violent stance, Haasan's outburst comes at a time when he is already facing backlash over his Kannada language remark during the 'Thug Life' audio launch. His comment that 'Kannada was born from Tamil' has caused controversy, leading to the film being withheld from release in Karnataka.

Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana's Diganth: I have never catered to any other section but the multiplex crowd
Kannada actor Diganth's latest theatrical release, Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana, has him playing a left-hander, who gets caught in a series of mishaps, sparked by his left-handedness. The dark comedy suspense thriller, directed by Samarth B Kadkol, has Diganth reuniting with his Pancharangi co-star Nidhi Subbaiah (of Ajab Gazab Love fame), and introduces newbie Dhanu Harsha to Kannada cinema. Stream Doodh Peda Diganth's movies like Manasaare, Pancharangi and Gaalipata 2, etc., with OTTplay Premium Going by the trailer and the promotional material of Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana, the impression one gets is that the film is a comedy that is likely to appeal to an urban audience and not a wider section like how Upadhyaksha and Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare did. 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana is, most definitely, an urban comedy and not like Upadhyaksha,' says Diganth. But then, isn't the team limiting itself by being classified a 'multiplex film'? Also, given that this exactly the audience that is shunning theatres these days, does that not put them on the backfoot? 'I don't think I have ever catered to any other section, but the multiplex crowd. Even when I did Manasaare and Pancharangi, it was more of a family audience kind of comedy and drama, it was never massy or the kind that reached all the people in Karnataka. I've never done the below-the-belt kind of comedy,' explains Diganth. The actor, who has not had a great box office run with most of his recent releases, including Laughing Buddha, Marigold, Bachelor Party, etc., adds that Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana is one of those films that he did because he loved the script and not because he had bills to pay. Has there been a shift in the kind of films/roles he's been picking up? He is, after all, also a part of the upcoming gangster flick Uttarakaanda, led by Shivarajkumar and Dhananjaya. 'Uttarakaanda is the first film in which I have tried something different with my look and general appearance, a more rugged, ghutka-chewing thug. That's a film I am super excited about,' he says, and adds, 'Like I have said earlier, I am now free to experiment; I can do whatever I want in terms of the projects I do. Having said that, Uttarakaanda and Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana were conscious choices to try something different, as is my upcoming film with the makers of Shakhahaari, Kinnara Jogi, in which I play a street magician.'

Onstage drama: Kamal Haasan loses cool after man gifts him a sword
Kamal Haasan loses cool after man gifts him a sword (Video credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan got angry at a party meeting in Chennai after a group of men gifted him a sword on stage, prompting a brief moment of chaos and police intervention. A video of the incident shows Haasan initially accepting the sword with a smile amid a crowd of men trying to pose with him. As the situation became increasingly chaotic, Haasan's expression turned stern, and he was seen gesturing angrily at one man, ordering him to put the sword down. A police officer stepped in, attempting to take control of the weapon. Eventually, the officer managed to place it down. Despite Haasan's clear displeasure, the man shook hands with him and struck a pose before being escorted off the stage by security personnel. — PTI_News (@PTI_News) Controversy over Kannada remark intensifies Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan is facing a political storm in neighbouring Karnataka. On Friday, the Karnataka high court observed that he has not issued an apology for his controversial remarks on the Kannada language and directed the producer of his latest film Thug Life to respond to a plea filed by the Kannada Sahitya Parishat. The Parishat, which sought to intervene in the film producer's case against a statewide release ban, argued that Haasan's statements hurt Kannada linguistic and cultural sentiments. The controversy dates back to the audio release of Thug Life, where Haasan claimed that the Kannada language originated from Tamil, a remark that triggered backlash across Karnataka. Multiple political leaders and the Karnataka Film Chamber had demanded an apology from the actor, but Haasan refused and ultimately withheld the film's release in the state on June 5, when it premiered globally.
