Kamal Haasan Refuses to Apologize Over Kannada Remark, Says 'I've Faced Threats Before'

Actor and leader Kamal Haasan is currently in controversy due to a statement he made about Kannada language. While on one hand the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) is asking him to apologize. He has warned that if the actor does not apologize, his upcoming film 'Thug Life' will be banned. His statement has also been strongly opposed in Karnataka. At the same time, the South Superstar has once again refused to apologize on Friday, May 30. He said that he believes in law and justice. Also, his love for Karnataka is true.

Kamal Haasan had created a controversy by saying that Kannada language originated from Tamil. The actor claimed that a group of Kannada supporters is threatening to ban the film if he does not apologize for his statement, which is nothing new, as he has received threats earlier as well.
