After the death of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, condolences and tributes poured in from all corners of the country. The Tamil Nadu government had banned the release after a few Muslim organisations accused the film of portraying their community in a bad light. But, actor Kamal Haasan’s message condoling the death of Jayalalithaa has upset many.

According to TV reports, Kamal has said that since he is in the US where he is shooting for his upcoming film, he was unable to pay his last respects in person to the late AIADMK chief. It is worth noting that a few years ago, Kamal and Jayalalithaa got into a major row during the release of the actor’s Vishwaroopam.
