Chennai: After talks
with Muslim groups Saturday, Kamal Haasan has agreed to cut some
scenes from his controversial film "Vishwaroopam".
The film will be released as soon as Tamil Nadu government
withdraws its prohibitory order.
"I've arrived at a consensus with my Muslim brothers. We've agreed
to cut some scenes from the film which they found to be
objectionable," Kamal Haasan, who produced the film and acted in
it, told reporters here.
"I'll announce the release date of the film soon. We've also
withdrawn our written petition and expect the same from the
government," he added.
Kamal Haasan joined the formal tripartite talks on Saturday with
Muslim groups to end the ban on his mega-budget multilingual film
"Vishwaroopam".
The talks, which were scheduled Friday, were called off because
Muslim organisations wanted Kamal Haasan to be present.
Muslim leaders had met Tamil filmmaker Ameer Sultan and Chandra
Haasan, Kamal Haasan's brother and his partner in production
company Raj Kamal Films International Jan 31.
"We've submitted letters to the government requesting it to
oversee talks between Raj Kamal Films International and (Muslim)
leaders," Chandra Haasan said Thursday.
The preliminary talks between both parties Friday were moderated
by Tamil Nadu Home Secretary R. Rajagopal.
Both sides agreed to meet after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.
Jayalalithaa said her government would help Kamal Haasan release
the film if he reaches a pact with the protestors.
The Rs.95 crore espionage thriller was set for release in Tamil
and Telugu Jan 25, but a day earlier the Tamil Nadu government
imposed a two-week ban on it fearing protests by Muslim groups.
The film's Hindi version released Feb 1 across the country.
