'Won't apologise if I am not wrong': Kamal Haasan amid row over Kannada language remark
Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Friday said he will not apologise if he is not wrong and revealed that he has faced threats before amid controversy over his remark that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil' during a promotional event for his latest film Thug Life in Chennai. "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..." said the MNM President and actor, responding to warnings by pro-Kannada groups who threatened to boycott his film and demanded an apology for his comment on the Kannada language. Kamal Haasan and his movie Thug Life sparked controversy in Karnataka after he reportedly stated that "Kannada is born out of Tamil" at the Chennai event. This led to protests outside the INOX cinema hall in Belagavi, Karnataka, organised by the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike group, which expressed anger and demanded an apology from the actor. On Wednesday, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah criticised Kamal Haasan's remarks, saying he was unaware of the 'long-standing' history of the Kannada language. "Kannada has a long-standing history. Poor Kamal Haasan, he is unaware of it," the Karnataka CM remarked.
