Vishwaroopam release banned for another 15 days


Following protests from a section of Muslim outfits, the TN Government in a special meeting convened at the Secretariat on Wednesday has ordered to ban the release of the mega-star film Vishwaroopam for two weeks.

The government on Wednesday instructed all the district collectors to prevent the screening of the film for two weeks by invoking prohibitory orders under section 144 of the Cr PC, citing a possible Law and Order situation in the run-up to Milad-ul- Nabi.

It is understood that the ban order to this effect was faxed to all the District Collectors of the TN state.

While Kamal Hassan is in the USA for the film's release in theaters, the ban could prove a major set back for the producer, Kamal Hassan. The film was produced in tri-lingual.

It is understood, the TN Chief Minister Jayalalithaa reviewed the situation of Law and Order in the TN state and discussed about it with the high-level-officials at the Secretariat, soon after she returned from Kodanad.

The decision also came after the representatives of the 24 Muslim organisations and some political parties under the banner of Federation of Muslim Organisations met the Home Secretary R.Rajagopal. The Federation members pointed out that their religion was portrayed in poor light and it would disturb the communal harmony.

In an interview to a news channel, very recently, Kamal Hassan has said that the people belonged to Muslim community would appreciate the film after they watched it. " Muslims are like my brothers and sisters and this will come to know about it only after they watched the film" said Kamal Hassan.
