Muslim groups in Tamil Nadu have filed a petition to ban actor Kamal Haasan�s �Vishwaroopam� after protests that the film �targets Muslims and their beliefs�. Following this, the film which was slated to be released tomorrow has been banned State-wide.
Mr. Haasan, who is also the film�s director, has said he will take legal action against the ban. In an official press release he said, �While I am touched by the voices in support for me and my film, I am appalled at how my film is construed to be against my Muslim brothers. I am not only hurt by these accusations of denigrating a community but my sensibilities are truly insulted. Icon bashing is a great way to be noticed when you are not one yourself. It is happening again and again. Any neutral and patriotic Muslim will surely feel pride on seeing my film.�
