Refusing to apologise for his controversial remark regarding the origins of the Kannada language, actor Kamal Haasan has informed the Karnataka High Court that his production house has decided not to release his movie 'Thug Life' in the state next week.

The High Court bench, headed by Justice M. Nagaprasanna, recorded this submission and adjourned the matter to 10 June. While adjourning, the bench advised actor Kamal Haasan to at least use his discretion regarding the matter now.
Senior Counsel Dhyan Chinnappa, appearing for Kamal Haasan, submitted that the actor cannot be compelled to apologise or issue apologies in a certain manner. The bench intervened, stating that the court had not asked the actor to apologise.
