Karnataka minister calls for ban on Thug Life if Kamal fails to apologise
The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|May 30, 2025
Kamal Haasan is renowned for his mastery of dialogue on screen. Now an unscripted slip-up on a public platform, that too on the provenance of Kannada language, has resulted in a storm of protest, with Minister for Kannada and Culture, Shivaraj Tangadagi, calling for a ban on the actor's new movie in the state.
Tangadagi has sent a letter to Karnataka Film Chamber Of Commerce (KFCC) directing them to impose a ban on Thug Life, Haasan's latest film, if the actor did not offer an apology.
The Minister told TNIE, "Kannada is our pride and we will not tolerate any insult to it. I have communicated to the film chamber that, until and unless the actor serves an apology, his film should not be released in Karnataka."

RAHUL'S REIGN OF RELENTLESS DEFEATS
IT began not with a whisper, but with a political detonation across the Gangetic plains. Last week, Bihar, always a keen weathervane for shifting political winds, delivered a verdict so mortifying for the Congress that even its most seasoned apologists struggled to dress it up. Contesting 61 seats, the party staggered out with a miserable six. It wasn't a defeat-it was a spectacle of collapse. And at its centre, as always, stood Rahul Gandhi, the prudish prince of a shrinking empire, presiding over the most dramatic political implosion in the history of a once-dominant national party.
