In Short
- AIADMK minister CV Shanmugam has attacked Kamal Haasan's personal life.
- Shanmugam has called Haasan caste-biased and asked for him to be arrested.
- He has called Haasan a third rate actor.
Attempting to get back at Kamal Haasan, AIADMK Ministers have made matters worse by indirectly threatening the actor with 'auditing' and talking about the actor's personal life.
This is not the first time that Kamal Haasan has spoken out against the AIADMK government. In fact, he was one of the few actors who spoke about the mismanagement during the 2015 rains which almost sank Chennai. He was also the first to talk about the 'system' to have collapsed, almost 2 years before Rajinikanth's comment on the 'system' being in a need of revamp.
After grave allegations were brought against Kamal Haasan for hosting Big Boss Tamil, with a Hindu fringe group seeking for his arrest, believing that 'Padma Bhushan' Kamal had damaged Indian Culture', he held a press meet where he once again asked a series of strong questions, criticizing the State government.
As a reply, Minister for Municipal Administrations, SP Velumani, asked for evidence to Kamal Haasan's allegations. "If you have evidence, then prove it. Let's audit the amount of tax you've paid for the movies you've produced," he challenged Kamal Haasan . SP Velumani, also questioned Kamal Haasan as to why, he didn't speak openly about the irregularities Karunanidhi's rule.
But, the situation went worse with Prison and Law Affairs Minister, CV Shanmugam's repeated blows to Kamal Haasan's personal life. CV Shanmugam called Kamal Haasan a third rate actor who has no roles in movies and claimed Hassan would do anything for money.
But more importantly, CV Shanmugam has called Haasan caste-biased and asked for him to be arrested. "Whole Big Boss show is under his control and many criticism against the socially backward people are being said projecting the upper caste attitude. I urge that he be arrested under Prevention of Atrocities Act," he claimed.
CV Shanmugam went on to make personal jibes on the actor's lifestyle almost branding Kamal Haasan as someone who doesn't appreciate Shanmugam's beliefs of Indian values. "He had an affair with an actress, didn't marry her and chased her away which is against Tamil and Indian culture. He has not rights to speak about us or the people of this country", he stated.
Though, AIADMK has constantly targeted Kamal Haasan , they are unable to act against him as Kamal Haasan is still revered as a genius both on and off movie industry holding a ton of respect in the hearts of the people of Tamil Nadu. In fact many in the state, see the ministers' outburst as only depicting their insecurity.
