T<\/strong>hanking Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for offering to break the impasse over the release of his film Vishwaroopam, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan on Thursday virtually ruled out moving the Supreme Court on revoking the Madras High Court order that stayed the film\u2019s release. <\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the Chief Minister. I am grateful to her. She has been kind enough to offer her help… now that she has helped us why should we go [to the Supreme Court]\u2026I do not want to carry coals to Newcastle,\u201d he said at a press conference here after the premiere of the Hindi version of the film, which was released here.<\/p>\n

“She is an artist, she has understood, she has come forward. I am grateful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the issue of Muslims opposing his film, the actor said that for him, there was no religion. \u201cFor me there are only people. I really do love them [the Muslim community]. I request India \u2014 my Muslim brothers, Christian brothers, Sikh brothers to avoid such things. We have so much more to do to take India forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Describing the support he got from the Muslim community as \u201cunbelievable,\u201d Mr. Haasan lauded his fans for being together through thick and thin with him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am touched by the overwhelming support,\u201d he remarked. <\/p>\n

He further sought to know why he was being accused of hatred. \u201cI mean no harm. The film [Vishwaroopam] is not about hurting Muslims. The good Muslims in the film are Indians and bad Muslims are terrorists who are not from India\u2026I do not want to paint terrorism in any colour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Muslims who were arrested for holding protests against the film were misled by rabble rousers, said Mr. Haasan.<\/p>\n

\u201cKamal Haasan has never been accused of painting the Muslims in bad light. Islam is not targeting me…it is the politics…it is not religion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The actor also thanked the media and the film fraternity profusely for extending their support to him on the Vishwaroopam controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn anger…in an emotional outburst, I said that I will leave the country. It does not mean I will do it… I enjoy the glory and fame. But if this happens again, I will seriously think of leaving. I am serious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the controversy on the film would push up box office receipts, Mr. Haasan said: \u201cIt is very silly to say I got good publicity; India did not get good publicity. What is the use of me getting good publicity when India’s name is being dragged in the muck?\u201dCOURTESY:THE HINDU<\/em><\/p>\n
