Kamal Haasan''s petition seeking a stay on the Tamil Nadu Government''s temporary ban.

Chennai The Madras High Court on Monday posted its order till tomorrow on veteran actor Kamal Haasan's petition seeking a stay on the Tamil Nadu Government's temporary ban on his film "Vishwaroopam" following allegations by some organisations that the movie shows Muslims in bad light.

The court has asked Kamal Hassan to meet government officials and find a way out.

According to certain media reports, the actor is likely to meet the government officials later in the day. The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film, which deals with the adversities of war, were scheduled to release on January 25.

The Tamil Nadu Government has imposed a ban on the film following protests from Muslim groups.

The latest development in this regard came after members of the Muslim organisations objected to the film on the ground that it portrays the community in bad light. They claim that the movie is anti- Muslim.

The Rs. 95-crore film has been written produced and directed by Kamal Haasan. The movie stars Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur, Jaideep Ahlawat, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah. Kamal Hassan also plays an important role in the film.

F ucking Muslims and corrupt indian govt.

What is the whole truth? by Rashid on 30 Jan 2013

I am sure this is govt-designed things. No muslim organisations are strong enough to control govt. decisions. If you sensible then do not join muslim-hating group.

Most Unfortunate by anil on 30 Jan 2013

It is the most unfortunate thing to happen to a great actor like Kamal Hassan. How is it that the muslims without even seeing the movie decided that it is anti muslim. Something is seriously wrong in our country. On the one hand we have a celebrity muslim actor going around the town claiming Indian muslims are treated badly in India and on the other hand we have a celebrity actor's movie banned just because it deals with terrorism. The majority opinion has been ignored time and again and why should Kamal go to government officials to get the movie released. I feel there is a sinister design to the whole plot.
