Amid Kannada language row, Kamal Haasan reacts to ‘heart-wrenching' Bengaluru stampede during RCB parade
Actor Kamal Haasan is "deeply distressed' to read about the stampede mishap outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru celebrated their maiden IPL title win in 18 years. He has expressed grief over the tragic incident. Also read: Virat Kohli breaks silence on Bengaluru stampede that killed 11 as RCB IPL celebrations go haywire: 'Absolutely gutted' Kamal took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express grief over the incident, saying his 'heart reaches out' to affected families. 'Heart wrenching tragedy in Bangalore. Deeply distressed and my heart reaches out to the families of the victims in this moment of grief. May the injured recover soon,' he posted. Kamal's comment came amid an ongoing controversy over his recent remarks on the Kannada language, which have been a subject of intense discussion. Kamal is getting backlash for his remarks suggesting that 'Kannada was born out of Tamil' ahead of the release of his film Thug Life. The Mani Ratnam-directed film has been barred from release in Karnataka. Recently, the Karnataka High Court slammed his statement and called him out for not apologising. Celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden IPL title turned into a tragedy after 11 people were crushed to death and another 47 injured following a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Wednesday evening. The incident has raised serious questions about police preparedness and organisational planning. The RCB's celebration started with the franchise visiting the Vidhana Soudha to meet Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The Karnataka CM felicitated the IPL 2025 champions before the players made their way to the Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, before their arrival at the venue, news of a stampede broke out, which caused fatalities. Owing to the stampede in Bengaluru outside RCB's home venue, the victory celebrations were cut short. Only RCB captain Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli gave speeches before flaunting the trophy in front of the fully-packed crowd inside the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB, on Tuesday, had won the IPL 2025 title after defeating Punjab Kings in the final in Ahmedabad.

Conflicting words: Bengalureans opine on actor Kamal Haasan's language remark
This controversy seems more like a politically-motivated stunt orchestrated by certain parties in Karnataka. Kamal Haasan has made immense contributions to Indian cinema – not just to Tamil cinema, he has seen himself as an Indian artiste. In fact, Mani Ratnam's first film was in Kannada, Pallavi Anu Pallavi (1983) and both he and Haasan have consistently expressed their love and respect for the Kannada language and its people. This controversy appears to be a deliberate attempt by some politicians to create unnecessary division. He absolutely does not need to apologise for a misunderstanding. Haasan has already clarified his intention and statement — an apology is unnecessary. Yes, there may be financial losses in crores, but he has taken a principled stance, and that's a risk he is willing to take. This controversy is likely to backfire — it's a significant loss for the Karnataka theatre associations. Moreover, it could strain the relationship between the Tamil and Kannada film industries.
