Kamal Haasan restrained from making ‘defamatory remarks' against Kannada language; Bengaluru court issues verdict a month after controversy
Kamal Haasan made headlines last month for his remark about the Kannada language during a promotional event for his film Thug Life. The comment landed him in legal trouble, and the film faced a ban in Bengaluru. The controversy surrounding his statement continues to stir emotions even after a month. A Bengaluru civil court has now issued an ex parte interim injunction, preventing the veteran actor from making any future statements against the Kannada language or culture. Kamal Haasan can't share defamatory posts about Kannada language Kamal Haasan, Ayushmann Invited To Oscars 2025! India Shines Bright With Payal Kapadia Too The ruling was passed on Friday (July 4) by an Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge after Mahesh Joshi, President of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat (KSP), filed a civil suit. According to PTI, the petition sought a legal restraint on Kamal Haasan from delivering "defamatory remarks" about the language and its cultural roots. The court ordered Kamal Haasan to be barred from 'posting, making, writing, or publishing any statement or remarks claiming linguistic superiority over the Kannada language or making any statements against the Kannada language, literature, land, and culture.' The court has also issued a summons to the actor, directing him to appear in person for the next hearing, which has been scheduled for August 30. Kamal Haasan's controversial remark about Kannada Kamal Haasan compared Tamil and Kannada during a promotional event in Bengaluru for Thug Life back in May. He said, 'Kannada was born out of Tamil,' and the statement did not sit well with some Kannada activists and cultural organisations. The uproar intensified when Haasan refused to retract his statement or issue an apology. Thug Life ultimately did not release in Karnataka, even though the production house and Kamal Haasan approached the High Court. About Thug Life Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, features Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and others in key roles. Unfortunately, the film underperformed at the box office.

Kamal Haasan restrained by Bengaluru court from making ‘defamatory' remarks against Kannada
The controversy around Kamal Haasan's remark on the Kannada language refuses to die down even a month after the infamous statement. Now, a local court in Bengaluru has passed an ex parte interim injunction order restraining the actor from making any remarks against the Kannada language. Actor Kamal Haasan's statement on Kannada during Thug Life promotions sparked controversy.(PTI) Bengaluru court restrains Kamal Haasan from statements against Kannada On Friday, an Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge in the city passed the order after hearing a suit filed by Kannada Sahitya Parishat (KSP) through its president, Mahesh Joshi. According to PTI, the suit sought an injunction against Kamal Haasan from making any defamatory statements against the Kannada language and culture. After hearing the complainant's plea, the court passed an injunction restraining Kamal Haasan from 'posting, making, writing, publishing any statement or remarks claiming linguistic superiority over Kannada language or making any statements against the Kannada language, literature, land and culture'. The court also issued a summons to Kamal Hassan and posted the case to August 30 for further hearing. The actor will now have to appear before the court on the next date. Kamal Haasan Kannada row The controversy surrounding Kamal Haasan in Karnataka stems from a statement he made during the promotions of his latest film, Thug Life. At the music launch of the film in Bengaluru in May, Kamal Haasan said that 'Kannada was born out of Tamil'. The statement sparked widespread outrage among pro-Kannada groups and cultural organisations. After Kamal Haasan stood by his statement and refused to apologise, Thug Life was not released in Karnataka. The film's makers, including Kamal Haasan, went to court and secured a victory, but quite belatedly. Eventually, the film was never released in Karnataka, and did not perform very well at the box office elsewhere. Thug Life marked Kamal Haasan's reunion with Mani Ratnam after 37 years. However, the film failed to get much love from fans or the critics. Thug Life, which also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ali Fazal, Sanjana Krishnamoorthy and Tanikella Bharani, grossed just ₹93 crore worldwide. It is now streaming on Netflix.

Also Read | Kamal Haasan moves Karnataka High Court for 'Thug Life' release after boycott calls Meanwhile, the court directed the KSP to give public advertisement stating that it has filed the suit in a representative capacity on behalf of Kannadigas, in terms of the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), while ordering issue of notice to Mr. Haasan and adjourning further hearing till August 30. The suit has been filed in connection with Mr. Haasan's controversial statement, made on April 24 during the launch of his movie 'Thug Life' in Chennai, in which the actor had claimed that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil'. 'The reason that actor's statement caused immense pain and anguish to people is because it is manifestly and objectively untrue and it has been made with a sense of chauvinism, superiority and arrogance....' it has been contended in the suit. Though the issue of opposition to screen movie 'Thug Life' in Karnataka has been adjudicated before the apex court, the KSP has said that the 'defamatory and fallacious statement made by the defendant remains and continuous to hurt the sentiments of the people (including that of KSP) and has caused immense disrepute, disgrace and humiliation.' Pointing out that the actor's controversial statement is 'patently and admittedly' false, the KSP has said that 'in fact, both the languages are sister languages...' While pointing out that Mr. Haasan has refused to tender an apology for his 'false statement', the KSP has sought a direction to him to tender an unconditional apology to the people of Karnataka and Kannadigas and withdraw his controversial statement on Kannada language.
