Bengaluru: Kamal Haasan told the Karnataka High Court that he would not apologize in connection with the recent language controversy. He stated that his remarks were not made with malicious intent, and therefore, he sees no reason to apologize. He also noted that the release of his film Thug Life in Karnataka has been temporarily halted.
Haasan had filed a petition against the ban imposed on the Tamil film Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam. While considering this plea, the High Court strongly criticized Haasan for his remarks and asked on what grounds such statements were made. The court advised that he express regret to end the issue, but Haasan declined to do so. The court postponed the hearing to a later date.
