Kamal Haasan says TN does not want him
Upset over the hurdles caused by the ban on the release of mega budget 'Vishwaroopam', an emotional Kamal Haasan today said Tamil Nadu does not want him to stay in the state and he might seek a 'secular' place in the country or overseas.
'When M F Hussain can do it, Kamal Haasan will do it... I am fed up. I am an artiste. After that, I will have to seek
a secular state for my stay... Secular state from Kashmir to Kerala, excluding Tamil Nadu... Tamil Nadu wants me out,' he
said in a choked voice as the fate of the movie is still to be decided in the court.
The actor said he had pledged all his property to make the trilingual movie, estimated to have cost around Rs 100
crore. He said he might lose his house because of the losses incurred by the delay in the release of the movie.
Haasan said he was still to get interim relief as the film shows were 'started and stopped' by police today, who
sought a physical copy of the single judge's order passed last night, giving clearance of the film.
'...But I believe that along with my Muslim friends, I have been instrument in a political game. I don't know who is
playing and not even hazarding the guess. The fact remains that my history has proven that I have been neither leaning to
the left or right but trying to maintain my position,' Haasan said.
He said he would wait for the judgement of the Madras High Court where the Tamil Nadu government today moved swiftly
to file an appeal against the interim relief given by the single judge.
'Now I shall wait for the afternoon judgement but after this... I think I will have to see a secular state for me to
stay in. I have nothing to lose. I might as well choose a place which would house an artiste like me.
'I will learn in another couple of days whether I will be able to find a secular state in India or not. I will find,
hopefully, another country which is secular that might take me in,' Haasan said.

മതേതര ഇടമില്ലെങ്കില് രാജ്യം വിടുമെന്ന് കമലാഹസ്സന്
ഇന്ത്യയില് തനിക്ക് മതേതര ഇടമില്ലെങ്കില് രാജ്യം വിടേണ്ടി വരുമെന്ന് കമലാഹസ്സന്. വിശ്വരൂപം സിനിമയുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട വിവാദം കത്തുന്നതിനിടെയാണ് കമലിന്റെ ഈ അഭിപ്രായപ്രകടനം. ഇങ്ങനെയാണെങ്കില് എം.എഫ് ഹുസൈനെ പോലെ രാജ്യം വിടേണ്ടി വരും. ഇതുവരെ സമ്പാദിച്ചതെല്ലാം മുടക്കിയാണ് വിശ്വരൂപമെടുത്തത്. വിശ്വരൂപത്തിനെതിരെ വിധിയുണ്ടായാല് തനിക്ക് തമിഴകം വിടേണ്ടി വരും. വിശ്വരൂപത്തിന് പ്രദര്ശനാമതി നിഷേധിച്ച തമിഴ്നാട് സര്ക്കാര് ഉത്തരവ് മദ്രാസ് ഹൈക്കോടതി റദ്ദാക്കിയിരുന്നു. വിധിക്കെതിരെ സര്ക്കാര് വീണ്ടും പുന:പരിശോധന ഹര്ജി നല്കിയ സാഹചര്യത്തിലാണ് കമലാഹസ്സന് ഈ മുന്നറിയിപ്പ് നല്കിയത്. 'വിധിക്കായി കാത്തിരിക്കുകയാണ് താന്. വിധി എതിരാണെങ്കില് തമിഴ്നാട് വിട്ട് കശ്മീര് മുതല് കേരളം വരെ തനിക്ക് ജീവിക്കാന് ഒരു മതേതര ഇടം ലഭിക്കുമോയെന്ന് അന്വേഷിക്കും. മതത്തേക്കാളും തനിക്ക് പ്രധാനം മനുഷ്യന് തന്നെയാണ്. മതത്തിന്റെ അടിസ്ഥാനത്തില് രാജ്യത്തെ ഭിന്നിപ്പിക്കാന് ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നില്ല. വിശ്വരൂപം നിരോധിച്ചത് എന്തിനാണെന്ന് പോലും മനസ്സിലാകുന്നില്ല-കമലാഹസ്സന് പറഞ്ഞു.
