By: Tupaki Desk | 5 Jun 2025 4:26 PM ISTLegendary actor Kamal Haasan said at the Thug Life event that Kannada came from Tamil. That angered people in Karnataka, leading to protests and a ban on the film. Fans are demanding an apology, and the issue is now in court. Kamal has stayed silent.
Amid the uproar, actor Rana Daggubati broke his silence. While promoting Rana Naidu Season 2, he addressed the growing trend of outrage culture. "Social media has turned into a space where every word becomes a headline," Rana said. "Back then, things were different. Now, even a simple comment snowballs into a political storm."
Meanwhile, Thug Life hit theaters today but didn’t see a Karnataka release. The boycott reportedly cost the film Rs 12.5 crore in revenue. Rumors suggest that Kamal Haasan might escalate the matter to the Supreme Court, but so far, there’s been no official word from him.
Despite the controversy, Kamal remains tied up with multiple film projects. However, the tension between Kannada audiences and the veteran actor hasn’t cooled down. The storm around his comment shows no sign of settling anytime soon.
