Now Kamal Haasan has approached the Karnataka High Court against this decision of KFCC. Kamal Haasan’s production house Raj Kamal Films International Chief Executive Officer has appealed to the court to direct the Karnataka Government, Police Department and Film Trade Bodies not to obstruct the release of the film.
