Nailing this legendary actor for sexually explicit scenes and offensive religious content has become almost a habit. Whatever the movie is, the first choice of word that comes from the mouths of few extreme, self-righteous activists is, BAN. Welcome to the show of universal hero, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan.
From Hey Ram to Dasavataram, Virumandi (Pothuraju in Telugu) to Viswaroopam, there is no film of Kamal that avoided a ban talk. A scene or lyric always hurts film lovers, who believe that hurting sentiments is the agenda of this highly talented creative hero. Today, Viswa Hindu Parishad joined that 'ban' chorus as they want "Uttama Villain" to be blocked from release. What's the reason? Because a lyric in one particular song which happens to be a conversation between Prahlad (Bhakta Prahladudu) and Hiranyakasip sounds controversial and hurts sentiments of Lord Vishnu worshippers.
Irony is that, the very same day VHP demanded a ban on Uttama Vilalin, Censor Board cleared it with clean "U" certificate and the film is confirmed for a May 1st release. There are times where Kamal's films are stopped from getting screened in the last minute. Fingers crossed!!
