Chennai Rains: Kamal Haasan Denies Blaming Tamil Nadu Government

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan denied making any remarks against the Tamil Nadu government with regards to the flood relief activities in the state.

Kamal received a lot of flak for his reported comment against the government, which he denied making in the first place. He also said he remained "apolitical" for very long.

"In my letter to a journalist friend, I only expressed my concern over the flood ravaged people of the state. Neither had I made any comment about the state government nor wanted to know how the taxpayer's money was being spent," he said in a statement.

"I wouldn't have paid my taxes all these years if I worried about how it was being used," he said.

Tamil Nadu is reeling under the worst flood to have hit the state in a century. While many film stars including Rajinikanth have donated generously towards the Chief Minister's Relief Fund, some have decided to battle the flood by getting themselves onto the streets.
