Kamal Haasan refuses to apologise for Kannada remark

The Karnataka High Court has adjourned the hearing on the release of Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life' to June 10th. Kamal Haasan has refused to apologise for his statements, which allegedly hurt sentiments in Karnataka. The court has made it clear that without an apology, the movie cannot be released in the state. Haasan's counsel stated that the actor's words were taken out of context and there was no malicious intent. The film's producers face potential financial losses if not released in Karnataka, the second-largest market for Tamil films.
