Demand for ban on films should be challenged: Kamal Haasan

February 09, 2013 18:12

Actor-director Kamal Haasan has said that demanding ban on films is becoming a trend, which should be challenged, and he is sure people will do it.

The film maker whose magnum opus Vishwaroopam was finally released in Tamil Nadu this week after he made truce with some Muslim outfits which had opposed it, said films like Kadal and Aadhi Bhagavan are facing "problems" in his state.

"It is becoming a trend. It should be challenged. If not by the Government, the people will do it", he told reporters in Bengaluru.

In this context, he noted that while it's understandable that the film fraternity and media stood by him vis-a-vis Vishwaroopam, it had "suddenly become a common cause" with the commonman also asking whether he "deserved all this"

(opposition to the movie).
