Actor-politician Kamal Haasan triggered public outrage and sharp political reactions in Karnataka after he remarked that “Kannada was born out of Tamil” during a promotion stint of his Thug Life in Madras earlier this week. In reply to a demand for apology, the actor said, his statement was “out of love” and “love will never apologise”.
There were state-wide protests and demonstrations in Karnataka following the remark.
A police complaint was lodged against Kamal Haasan by the Praveen Shetty Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.
