Shivarajkumar joins outcry over Kamal Haasan's remark: ‘I can give my life for Kannada…'
Amid the growing controversy surrounding actor Kamal Haasan's remarks about the Kannada language, actor Shivarajkumar has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to his mother tongue. The veteran actor stated, 'Kannada is my first option, no doubt about it… All the languages are important for me… As a mother tongue, Kannada is a priority… I can give my life for Kannada. Whenever an issue comes for Karnataka, I am the first person to be there.' Kamal Haasan stirred controversy earlier this week during a promotional event in Chennai for his upcoming film Thug Life, where he allegedly commented that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil.' The statement sparked protests across Karnataka, with various Kannada organisations, including Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, demanding an apology. Also Read | Kamal Haasan: 'My love for Karnataka is true, won't apologise' BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, responding to the controversy, emphasised the importance of respecting all languages while celebrating one's own. 'Tamil is an ancient language, and you will always see Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating this,' she said. 'Whenever you express the richness of your language, you should not hurt the sentiments of others. Why didn't Kamal Haasan mention this previously when he was acting in Kannada, Telugu and Hindi movies? Why now does he want to disrupt the brotherhood of other states?' In response to calls for a public apology, Kamal Haasan remained defiant, stating that India is a democratic country and he would not apologise if he believed he had done no wrong. 'I believe in law and justice,' the actor said, addressing media queries amid mounting backlash. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had announced a ban on the release of Thug Life in the state. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, KFCC representative Sa Ra Govindu had confirmed the decision, and said, 'We stand with the Kannada organisations demanding a public apology. Until Kamal Haasan apologises, the film will not be allowed to release in Karnataka.' Also Read | Kamal Haasan clarifies Tamil-Kannada remark, says politicians 'unqualified' to talk about language: 'Leave all these to historians' The film, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam, features Kamal Haasan in the lead alongside Trisha Krishnan and Silambarasan TR. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had also criticised Haasan, pointing out the historical depth of the Kannada language. 'Kannada has a long-standing history. Poor Kamal Haasan, he is unaware of it,' he remarked during an interaction with the media. As tensions continue to rise, pro-Kannada organisations have maintained their demand for an unconditional apology from the veteran actor to restore peace and cultural respect.

Kamal Haasan reveals buying rights to Sujatha's Agrahara Devathaigal to make web series: ‘Would have spent all the money in one episode'
Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan has had an illustrious career, wearing many hats—actor, director, screenwriter and choreographer. Despite his versatility, he has never featured in a web series. In a recent interview with SCREEN, the actor-filmmaker, currently gearing up for his next film Thug Life, revealed that he once attempted to create a series but had to halt production as he 'would have spent all the money' on just one episode. When asked if he will ever make a web series, Haasan replied, 'If we want to, we can. That's a choice, which is a luxury. Some of the big Hollywood guys saw going into television as a downfall. But now, big stars are looking forward because they get the liberty that the corporate structure won't give them. The episodic format also gives a better chance to develop the character and play it for longer.' ALSO READ | Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam on audience calling out bad films: 'It's 1.4 billion people, how can I satisfy all of them?' Kamal Haasan also shared that he had once acquired a story, but the series was halted just as filming was about to begin. 'I have given it a thought. In those days, I even started making one. I approached a great writer and we bought his story. It's called Agrahara Devathaigal by Sujatha,' Haasan revealed. He continued, 'I wanted to make it as a series. We almost started, but then I was using the same techniques as cinema and with one episode, I would have spent all the money there. We stopped!' Kamal Haasan's upcoming film Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, is set to hit the big screen on June 5. It also stars Silambarasan, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nasser, Abhirami, and Aishwarya Lekshmi, with a musical score by AR Rahman.
