Just days ahead of the much-anticipated release of Thug Life, actor Kamal Haasan has found himself at the center of a controversy that could potentially affect the film’s reception. During a recent promotional interview, Kamal made a comment suggesting that the Kannada language has its roots in Tamil—an observation that sparked immediate backlash from cultural groups and political figures in Karnataka.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah publicly criticized Kamal’s remarks, stating that the actor lacked a basic understanding of linguistic and historical facts. Several Kannada organizations and pro-Kannada groups have since called for a boycott of Kamal Haasan’s films across the state.
The timing is particularly sensitive, as Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, is a high-stakes project for both the actor and filmmaker. With the film slated for release on June 5, the controversy threatens to dampen its box office prospects in Karnataka, one of the key markets for South Indian cinema. As tensions escalate, it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds and whether it will have a lasting impact on the film’s success.
