Prakash Raj Comments On The Kaala Ban, Hits Out At Kamal Haasan For Not Supporting Rajinikanth
Prakash Raj condemned the ban on Kaala. And, in a separate interview, he lashed out at Kamal Haasan for not discussing the issue with the Karnataka CM.
Tamil
star
Rajinikanth's
Kaala
is
all
set
to
hit
the
screens
on
June
7,
2018
and
this
has
created
quite
a
buzz
amongst
fans.
However,
the
film
might
not
release
in
Karnataka
because
of
the
actor's
remarks
on
the
Cauvery
issue.
'Thalaiva'
had,
reportedly,
said
that
the
Karnataka
government
should
release
Cauvery
waters
to
Tamil
Nadu
at
the
earliest.
Following
this,
some
pro-Kannada
groups
called
for
a
ban
on
Kaala
and
the
film's
distributor
'voluntarily'
decided
against
releasing
the
film
in
Karnataka.
Now,
noted
actor
Prakash
Raj
has
tweeted
on
the
issue.
In
a
series
of
tweets,
he
said
that
banning
Kaala
is
not
justified
and
the
fringe
group
cannot
decide
what
the
people
of
Karnataka
want.
However,
at
the
same
time,
the
OK
Kanmani
actor
made
it
clear
that
Rajini's
remarks
on
the
Cauvery
were
not
acceptable.
"A
statement
made
by
actor
Rajinikanth
has
hurt
us
deeply.
Yes,
I
agree.
In
order
to
express
our
dissent,
a
few
organisations
have
called
for
a
ban
on
the
film.
Is
that
what
we
Kannadigas
want?
We
don't
know
and
we
will
never
know.
If
the
film
is
released
and
people
decide
not
to
see
it
as
a
mark
of
their
protest
only
then
will
be
able
to
gauge
what
people
really
want.
But
these
fringe
elements
deciding
on
behalf
of
the
people
will
not
let
us
know
it.
Who
are
these
people
to
decide
what
most
Kannadigas
want
or
don't
want?" he
added.
Furthermore,
while
speaking
to
News
18,
Prakash
Raj
criticised
Kamal
Haasan
for
not
discussing
the
Kaala
controversy
with
the
Karnataka
CM
HD
Kumaraswamy
during
their
recent
meeting
and
reminded
the
'Ulaga
Nayagan' that
many
in
the
industry
had
supported
him
during
the
Vishwaroopam
controversy.
"He
has
his
own
reasons
to
not
raise
the
issue
but
he
should
also
realise
that
when
his
film
Vishwaroopam
was
banned,
he
wanted
the
entire
world
to
stand
by
him.
But
I
feel
it
is
my
responsibility
and
we
cannot
let
this
happen
to
any
film," he
added.
Well,
these
are
some
strong
words
and
might
ruffle
a
few
feathers.
It
will
be
worth
watching
if
Haasan
reacts
to
the
criticism.
So,
do
you
agree
with
Prakash
Raj's
comments

the
Kaala
Controversy?
