The politics behind Vishwaroopam Controversy
The politics behind Vishwaroopam controversy.
Kamal Haasan’s film Vishwaroopam landed in big controversy in Tamil Nadu and rumours are rife that the film might be even banned by theatre owners. Trouble started brewing earlier when Kamal Haasan’s big gamble to screen the film simultaneously on DTH services like Tata Sky, Airtel came to the limelight.
Apparently, he struck a Rs 50 crores deal with several DTH operators which would have made it possible to screen Vishwaroopam on DTH on the same day as its theatrical release. As soon as a leading distributor came to know about Kamal Haasan’s new distribution model, he alerted other theatre owners across Tamil Nadu.
The theatre owners feel that there’ll be a huge loss in theatrical collections if Kamal Haasan goes ahead with his plan. It’s not yet clear what their future course of action would be, but they have sent a message loud and clear that they’ll not allow Kamal Haasan to air Vishwaroopam on the same day of its theatrical release. The film is set in the backdrop of global terrorism.
It is rumoured that some of the theatres owners ignited some Muslim organisations to raise objections and stall the release of the film.
