Karunanidhi on Viswaroopam: Why is TN govt silent?

January 30, 2013 18:28

As the controversy over Kamal Haasan's Tamil movie Viswaroopam continued, DMK chief M Karunanidhi today wondered why the Tamil Nadu government had not taken any initiative to resolve the crisis.

"Though the Madras high court judge has suggested an amicable solution, the Tamil Nadu government has not taken any initiative," he said writing in the party organ Murasoli.

Karunanidhi also cited reports suggesting that a TV channel close to the AIADMK wanted to buy the film but that the producers had refused saying they had spent over Rs 100 crore. He also referred to reports that at a function recently, Hassan wanted a 'dhoti-clad Tamilian to become the prime minister', apparently referring to P Chidambaram's potential to occupy the top job.
