I strongly urge the Tamil Nadu government to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice and ensure they receive severe punishment. I express my deepest condolences to Kavin’s grieving family and friends. All political movements must unite against the social disgrace of caste-based atrocities. We must recognise that caste is our primary enemy. We must fight until this issue is eradicated.”

Kamal Haasan films update
On the work front, Kamal Haasan was last seen in Thug Life. The Mani Ratnam directorial was expected to become a raging blockbuster. Since the movie marks the return of Kamal and Mani 38 years after their iconic classic Nayakan. However, the film opened with negative reviews from critics, and the audience rejected it straightaway. Thug Life tanked, and it became his second colossal failure after Indian 2.
