Kamal
Hassan
was
in
Bangalore
to
attend
a
programme
organised
by
Press
Club
of
Bangalore
and
Bangalore
Reporters'
Guild.
At
the
occasion,
he
spoke
on
various
issues
including
Vishwaroopam
2,
controversies
and
politics.
When
a
reporter
asked
Kamal
Hassan
whether
he
would
join
politics,
the
actor
said
that
he
is
not
interested
in
it.
The
Universal
star
was
quizzed
whether
he
would
endorse
Narendra
Modi's
development
model
and
about
his
view
on
the
Gujarat
Chief
Minister.
He
refused
to
comment
and
replied,
"I
would
definitely
answer
by
voting,
but
I
won't
discuss
it
in
public."
On
asking
whether
his
forthcoming
Vishwaroopam
2
would
face
problems
like
its
first
instalment,
Kamal
Hassan
said,
"How
do
you
take
care
of
controversies?
How
do
you
take
care
of
intolerance?
It
is
very
difficult
to
take
care
of
intolerance.
The
only
thing
I
can
do
is,
I
don't
become
intolerant!"
Kamal
Hassan
reinstated
that
he
would
leave
the
country
if
he
faces
such
a
situation
again.
"I
will
not
take
back
that
word.
If
I
am
threatened
or
troubled
again
as
an
artiste,
I
can
leave
the
country.
But
can
the
country
leave
me?" Hassan
said.
The
actor
said
that
he
was
pained
by
the
developments
during
Vishwaroopam.

Kamal
Hassan's
Plans
A
Bilingual
Filmmaker
and
actor
Kamal
Hassan
has
said
that
he
is
planning
to
do
a
Tamil
movie
in
Karnataka
as
he
wants
bilinguals
to
reach
out
to
larger
audience
in
the
south.
"We
are
planning
to
do
a
movie.
We
want
to
do
it
in
Karnataka," he
said.
Kamal-Ramesh
Joining
Hands
The
forthcoming
movie
will
be
directed
by
Kannada
actor
and
director
Ramesh
Aravind.
"I
have
always
been
telling
Ramesh
Aravind
that
we
should
do
bilinguals
(Kannada
and
Tamil)
now
so
that
we
are
able
to
reach
out
all
of
Karnataka
and
rest
of
South
(India)," he
said.
Kamal
On
Bollywood
Kamal
Hassan
said
he
does
not
like
the
idea
of
calling
the
entire
film
industry
in
India
as
Bollywood.
"Actually,
more
than
50
per
cent
of
films
(of
the
total
number
in
India)
come
from
South
of
India
and
the
film
industry
is
known
as
one
name
-
Bollywood,
which
I
think
is
a
misnomer.
It
is
(actually)
Mumbai
film
industry,"
he
said.
We
Should
Become
International:
Kamal
He
said,
"Hollywood
is
a
small
village
which
became
international,
and
we
are
one
big
country
and
we
should
become
international.
My
goal
is
Hollywood
will
shift
to
India
if
you
work
on
it."
Hassan
has
completed
the
shooting
schedule
of
Vishwaroopam
2,
which
is
an
espionage
thriller
written
and
directed
by
him.
FICCI
Media
And
Entertainment
Business
Conclave
Earlier,
Hassan
announced
that
FICCI
Media
and
Entertainment
Business
Conclave
would
be
held
in
Bangalore
on
October
29
and
30,
under
his
chairmanship.
"This
year
the
focus
of
the
conclave
will
be
on
the
effective
proliferation
of
meaningful
content
in
the
backdrop
of
digital
technologies
and
the
array
of
new
media,"
he
said.
Dedicated
Session
"Traditional
platforms
have
been
disrupted
and
new
methods
for
the
future
need
to
be
adopted
in
order
to
be
creating
and
monetising
content.
For
this,
skill
development
for
the
industry
need
special
discussion
and
a
roadmap
and
the
conclave
has
a
dedicated
session
on
this
apart
from
covering
all
sub-sectors
of
the
entertainment
industry
in
its
ambit,"
Hassan
said.
