Qasmi further raised an interesting question “When the Censor Board had already passed the film, Why Kamal Haasan called in for 40 Imam Council board people to view it? This amount of Publicity Mr.Haasan would never-ever had received by even spending a huge amount of money.” If i go back and do a little research, I find Kamal Haasan had a row of Flops before Vishwaroopam from Hey Ram (2000) to the last Unnaipol Oruvan (Tamil Remake of ‘A Wednesday’) (2010), None of his films created a stir at the Box office. When Vishwaroopam was in the making, His PR Strategy (Handled by Mr.Nikil Murugan) released a News which said the famous Cannes Film Festival bending it’s rule to screen Vishwaroopam. The news to me sounded very baseless, As The famous Film Festival might never do this to Al Pacino’s film. I personally contacted the Cannes Film Festival authorities by email, No response came from the Cannes Film Festivals.
Kamal Haasan was also very adamant about releasing the film on DTH Platform. The distributors raised a strong objection and discussions were made. The film was passed by the Indian Censor Board and at the time of Distributors becoming upset by Kamal’s decision, This controversy about Muslim Group’s protesting erupts like a Volcano.
Trade Analyst Atul Mohan says “The two (Shah Rukh Khan and Kamal Haasan) maybe best of friends but the situation they are in right now are different. I hope all settles down soon with Love and Peace, As all’s well that End’s well.”
Let’s all agree with Mr.Mohan’s quotes and keep hoping for the best to happen for everyone as on one side it is King Khan Shah Rukh Khan whom we love, And on the other side it’s India’s best talent called Kamal Haasan.
