Kamal Haasan in trouble again

After the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), it was the turn of Hindu Munnani to cry foul of actor Kamal Haasan's yet to be released Dasavathaaram, in which he plays a record number of 10 roles, the first of its kind in the Indian film industry.

Even as the film was scheduled for release in June, both the Hindu outfits have raised a banner of revolt, demanding removal of certain scenes, which they claimed, hurt the feelings of Hindus. Scores of Haasan's fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the film after its grand audio launch last week in Chennai.

But the VHP and the Hindu Munnani have threatened to stall the screening of the film if Kamal Haasan and KS Ravikumar, the director of the film, did not remove 'objectionable scenes.' VHP President Vedantham and Hindu Munnani Leader Rama Gopalan saw red over the film reportedly depicting clashes between Shaivite and Vaishanvite saints during the 16th century AD and wanted the scenes removed.

"With the help of devotees, we will stage a protest demonstration in front of the theatres and stall the screening of the film," Gopalan said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Hindu leader also took serious exception to Mallika Sherawat sporting a revealing dress at the audio release function in the city and demanded action against her. Facing controversies and obstacles is not something new to Kamal Haasan as he faced problems when he came out with his other ventures like Virumandi, (which was renamed Sandiyar) Mumbai Express and Vasool Raja MBBS.

Dasavathaaram has won accolades from Hollywood action hero Jackie Chan, who, after watching the synopsis of the film, said he was awe-struck by the film and wanted to act with Haasan.
