Actor-director Kamal Hassan today said he will take legal recourse on
Tamil Nadu government's ban on screening of his film 'Vishwaroopam'
following protests by Muslim outfits, saying "such cultural terrorism"
should stop.
The actor, who had held a special show for Muslim representatives recently, said while he was touched by voices in support of his film he was "appalled" at how the movie was “construed to be against my Muslim brothers."
Tamil Nadu government had last night asked district administrations
across the state to invoke relevant legal provisions to ban the
screening of the movie for about two weeks to maintain law and order. The ban came after several Muslim
outfits protested against screening of the film, due for release
tomorrow, claiming that it depicted the community in negative light.
The actor had already courted controversy with screen-owners uniting against the tech-savvy actor's decision to release the high-budget movie on DTH platform ahead of its release in theatres.
