'Viswaroopam' releases in Kerala, no reports of trouble

January 25, 2013 13:19

Actor-director Kamal Haasan's controversial movie Viswaroopam, facing a two week-ban in Tamil Nadu due to its alleged anti-Muslim content, was released in more than 80 theatres in Kerala today.

The multi-lingual film was mainly released in B-class theatres under Kerala Cine Exhibitors Association.

It was also screened in multiplexes and some theatres run by the Kerala Film Exhibitor's Federation, which had declined to exhibit the movie following Haasan's decision to premier Viswaroopam on DTH format, industry sources said.

As per the initial report, the film has been screened in 86 theatres in the state, where about 25 per cent of the population comprises Muslims.
