Kamal Haasan is once again embroiled in controversy. This time the matter is about his alleged statement, in which he said that the Kannada language originated from Tamil. After this statement, there has been outrage in the Kannada speaking community and some Prokannada organizations have warned of boycotting his upcoming film 'Thug Life'. These organizations have demanded an apology from Kamal Haasan for this statement.

However, now Kamal Haasan has broken his silence on this issue and clarified his stand in a conversation with the media. He said that if anyone's sentiments have been hurt by any of his statements and it is proved that he has said something wrong, then he will not hesitate at all to apologize. But if he has not said anything inappropriate, then he will stand by his statement.

While talking to the media in Chennai, he said that this is a democratic country and he always believes in law and justice. He also clarified that he has an old and deep connection with Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, which no one can deny. He also alleged that the same people who have their own personal agenda are creating an atmosphere against him. Kamal Haasan also said that he has received threats many times before, but he never chose the path of bowing down to fear. This time too he stands with the truth and will take any decision based on facts. This stance of his shows that he is neither afraid of controversies nor backs down from the truth.

This entire controversy started when Kamal Haasan was busy promoting 'Thug Life' and he allegedly said that Kannada language originated from Tamil. Angered by his statement, some people filed a complaint against him and started protesting. Now it will be interesting to see whether this controversy stops with his clarification or deepens further.
