Actor Kamal Haasan has voiced out his support for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming mega-budget film Padmavati, and its female lead, actress Deepika Padukone. The film and its actors have been facing all kinds of threats, including bodily harm.
Kamal, in his recent tweet, has addressed this, especially in the context of Deepika: "I wantMs.Deepika's head.. saved. Respect it more than her body.Even more her freedom. Do not deny her that.Many communities have apposed my films.Extremism in any debate is deplorable. Wake up cerebral India.Time to think. We've said enough. Listen Ma Bharat"
Many prominent Tamil film celebrities have condoled the passing away of producer Ashok Kumar.
Yesterday politician Tamilisai Soundararajan criticized Kamal for not tweeting against usury that forced Ashok to kill himself.
Now Kamal Haasan has voiced his concern about this long going usury problem. He says these loan sharks are tormenting the lives of everyone from farmers to the richest; this needs to be stopped. Kamal also offered his condolences to the departed family.
Kamal's tweet - "கந்துவட்டிக் கொடுமை எழை விவசாயி முதல் பணக்காரர்கள் என நம்பப்படும் சினிமாக்காரர் வரை ஆட்டிப்படைப்பதை சட்டமும் சினிமாத்துறையும் தடுத்தாக வேண்டும். திரு. அசோக்குமாரின் அகாலமரணம் போல் இனி நிகழவிடக்கூடாது. குடும்பத்தார்க்கும் நட்புக்கும் கலைத்துறையின் அனுதாபங்கள்."
