Vishva Hindu Parishad calls for ban on Uttama Villain

A fresh set of troubles cropped up for Kamal Haasan's "Uttama Villain" as Vishva Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) Tamil Nadu wing has called for a ban on the the film. Kamal Haasan has wrestled with so many controversies over the years with the release of each of his film. The controversies seem to continue for his latest film too. Uttama Villain directed by Ramesh Aravind is set to hit the screens soon.

Members of VHP’s Chennai unit approached the office of the commissioner of police on Monday, pressing on the ban with a complaint against the film. Speaking to mediapersons, the members alleged the lyrics of a song in the film, recently released online, had belittled a conversation between Prahalad (a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu) and his father Hiranyakashipu (a demon) and this hurt the feelings of Hindus. They condemned Kamal and demanded the film be banned.

VHP members lodged the complaint with officials of the grievance cell of the commissionerate and have also planned further protests against the filmmakers.
