Thug Life and Vishwaroopam: Tale of two bans and Kamal Haasan's defiance

"I have been threatened before. If I'm wrong, I'll apologise. If not, I won't," said Kamal Haasan after his upcoming film, 'Thug Life', was banned in Karnataka over the actor's "Kannada was born out of Tamil" remark that angered pro-Kannada longtime followers of Kamal Haasan's career, this threat from Karnataka may seem small. For the actor has seen much bigger controversies. Remember when 'Vishwaroopam' faced a ban in Tamil Nadu in 2013? Remember when 'Vishwaroopam' faced a ban in Tamil Nadu in 2013? The actor had openly admitted that he would lose his assets if the film wasn't allowed to be Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' now faces a similar ban, though in Karnataka, let us take a look at the two instances when his films were banned for allegedly hurting the sentiments of a particular PROPERTIES AT STAKE: THE VISHWAROOPAM BAN Kamal Haasan and controversies go hand in hand. He has seen as many controversies as the number of years in the Indian film industry. When we talk about Haasan and controversies, it is the 'Vishwaroopam' ban that probably springs back into our minds.'Vishwaroopam' was more than just a film for Kamal Haasan. Ahead of the film's release in 2013, it saw widespread protests from various Muslim organisations over the alleged misrepresentation of their Tamil Nadu government, under J Jayalalithaa,, banned the film for two weeks, while it was released in neighbouring states. advertisementKamal Haasan, who was the director, producer, writer and actor of 'Vishwaroopam', was on the cusp of going bankrupt if the ban had continued in Tamil emotional Haasan, at a Mumbai event in January 2013, said, "If this happens again, I will seriously think of leaving India."He sought the court's help to lift the ban. Perhaps the most defining moment came a day before the verdict was pronounced. Hundreds of fans gathered outside Haasan's home in Alwarpet, Chennai. He, along with his team, stood on the sunshade of his home, giving the most emotional speech of his life."What I shared with you all was my sadness, not my anger. If you are all sad, share your sadness with me, not your anger. The Muslims among my fans are my brothers and yours too. Non-violence is the highest form of heroism. My Muslim brothers and other brothers should show our unity. Before the verdict arrives, if something untoward happens, it's a black mark for me. We do not want politics. You are the sons of this soil. It's your duty to protect this soil. As your elder brother, I'm saying, please go home silently. I am Tamilian. My profession is cinema. Till the time cinema lives, I will continue to entertain you all," said Haasan. advertisementIt was the reassurance that his fans needed. The ban on 'Vishwaroopam' was lifted, and the rest is KANNADA-TAMIL STORM: THE 'THUG LIFE' BANMay 24, 2025, marked the audio launch of 'Thug Life', a film that brought together the iconic 'Nayakan' duo - Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan. At the audio launch, Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar was invited as the chief the crowd and him, the 'Vikram actor said, "Actor Shiva Rajkumar is my family living in another state. That's why he is here. That's why when I started my speech, I said 'my life and my family is Tamil'. Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil. So you are included in that family.'Here's the video: Little did he know that his statement, a display of affection to Shivanna and Tamil, would snowball into a controversy of this magnitude. Pro-Kannada activists took exception to the statement, claiming that Kannada was born out of Sanskrit and tore the banners of 'Thug Life'. In Belagavi district, protests were organised near the INOX cinemas, followed by a pro-Kannada Kamal Haasan remained firm in his stance. "What I said was said out of love and a lot of historians have taught me language history. I didn't mean anything. Politicians are not qualified to talk about language. They don't have the qualifications to talk about it, including me. Let us leave all these very in-depth discussions to historians, archaeologists and language experts," he said during an event in Kerala's Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) stood in solidarity with the pro-Kannada groups and banned the film in the state after Haasan did not apologise. Speaking to the media in Chennai on Friday, Kamal Haasan said he would not apologise. "It is a democracy. I believe in the law and justice. My love for Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala is true. Nobody will suspect it except for those who have an agenda. I've been threatened earlier too, and if I am wrong, I would apologise, if I'm not, I won't."Whether it was 'Vishwaroopam' in 2013 or 'Thug Life' today, Kamal Haasan's response remains consistent: unwavering conviction over convenient compromise. At 70, the actor-filmmaker continues to choose principles over profit, even when faced with potential financial ruin or state-wide defiance seemingly stems from a deep-seated belief in artistic freedom and intellectual honesty. For Haasan, backing down isn't an option; standing tall is the only way an era of waning tolerances, though 12 years apart, it's Kamal Haasan's defiance that stands out. Unfazed, for his passion project. Now, for a Watch

Kamal Haasan finally REACTS to 'boycott Thug Life' over Kannada language row: 'I have been threatened before'

Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life is slated to release on June 5, 2025, marking his reunion with director Mani Ratnam. Now, the film might face a ban in Karnataka over the actor's language remark, and here's how he reacted to it. In a recent press meet, Haasan replied, 'This is a democratic country, and I believe in law and justice. I believe love will always triumph. Now, my love for Karnataka is true, my love for Andhra is true, my love for Kerala is true, so nobody will suspect me except those who have an agenda.' In addition to these words, the veteran actor was asked whether he would offer an apology, especially with the Karnataka government threatening a ban on Thug Life. To which Haasan has said, 'I have been threatened before. If I am wrong, I will apologize; if not, I won't. That's my lifestyle, please don't tamper with it.' For those unclear, Kamal Haasan was recently caught up in controversy after he made a remark that Kannada was born out of Tamil. During his speech at the Thug Life audio launch, the veteran actor, speaking to Shiva Rajkumar, remarked that Kannada was born out of Tamil; in that way, the Kannada superstar is also part of his family. Coming to Haasan's work front, the veteran star of Tamil cinema is soon set to hit the big screens with the film Thug Life. The film is an action thriller that tells the story of Rangaraya Sakthivel Naicker, a Yakuza-like gangster. Presumed dead, the gangster makes a return from his grave and suspects his foster son, Amaran, to be the conspirator who wants him dead. What follows in the film is a battle of death between father and son, with one emerging on top. With Haasan and Silambarasan TR as co-leads, the movie features an ensemble cast that includes Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Joju George, and many more in key roles. Following this, the actor is expected to star under the direction of the action choreographer duo AnbArivu for the tentatively titled KH237.

KRV activists stage protest slamming Kamal Haasan for his remarks on Kannada

Members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) staged a demonstration in the city on Friday and slammed actor Kamal Haasan for his remarks on Kannada. The actor's statement that Kannada stemmed from Tamil has hurt the sentiments of people of Karnataka as it was baseless and false, said the KRV. 'The actor's remarks is an affront on the rich culture, history, and legacy of Kannada apart from hurting the self-respect of Kannadigas,' it added. The KRV said that if Kamal Haasan did not withdraw his remarks and offer an apology, protests across Karnataka will be intensified. The activists also called for the boycott of his forthcoming film Thug Life. The KRV leaders said the anger against the actor's statement was palpable across the State, and it has decided that the film would not be allowed for release in Karnataka under any circumstances. The KRV also urged the State government and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce to take steps to ensure that the Kamal Haasan's movie was not released in the State.
