In
what
could
be
a
shocking
news
for
audience,
Kamal
Hassan's
much-awaited
Vishwaroopam
has
been
banned
in
Tamil
Nadu
for
15
days.
The
state
government
has
decided
to
ban
the
film
after
several
Muslim
organisations
raised
objection
claiming
that
the
multilingual
film
shows
their
community
in
bad
light.
The
film
was
supposed
to
release
tomorrow
(January
25)
in
over
500
screens.
The
authorities
have
ordered
district
collectors
to
stop
the
screening
of
Vishwaroopam
and
also
they
have
orally
communicated
to
stop
the
advance
booking
of
the
one
of
the
biggest
budget
films
of
Tamil
film
industry.
A
couple
of
days
ago,
Vishwaroopam
was
screened
to
several
Muslim
outfits
and
they
were
not
happy
with
the
content,
as
they
felt
that
the
film
would
disturb
the
communal
harmony.
This
development
comes
as
a
big
blow
for
Kamal
Hassan
after
the
DTH
(Direct
to
Home)
première
mess
up.
However,
fans
of
Kamal
Hassan
hope
that
Chief
Minister
Jayalalithaa,
who
is
a
close
friend
of
the
actor,
would
intervene
to
resolve
the
issue.
Meanwhile,
the
film
is
expected
to
release
in
other
parts
of
the
country
without
any
trouble.
Vishwaroopam
is
one
of
the
biggest
films
of
Kamal
Hassan,
in
terms
of
budget,
and
apart
from
directing,
he
has
also
acted
and
produced
the
film.
It
is
made
with
the
budget
of
Rs
95
crore
and
the
film
also
features
Pooja
Kumar,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Rahul
Bose,
among
others.
