Kamal Haasan is at the centre of controversy with objections being raised about his latest film Vishwaroop (the Tamil version is titled Vishwaroopam). With Muslim organisations protesting about the depiction of their community in the film, the Tamil Nadu government stepped in to ban the film. This has come as a huge setback for the filmmaker who had meanwhile resolved the situation with the Muslim organisations. “They (The Tamil Nadu government) won't rest easy until they finish off my film and destroy me financially. I am willing to face financial ruination, but I won’t grovel and buckle under pressure. I never have. I never will. They can break me financially, but they can't break my spirit,” says Kamal Haasan.
