As A. R. Murugadoss faces criticism from the ruling government, Kamal Haasan voices his support

Just when you thought that all the controversy surrounding Sarkar is over, director A. R. Murugadoss continues to face allegations. The Tamil Nadu government took the issue to the court and demanded that A. R. Murugadoss must give an undertaking stating that in his films, he would not criticize the policies of the government. (Read about the Sarkar controversy here)

The film Sarkar criticized the welfare schemes done by the government and took a dig at the former chief minister late J Jayalalithaa. AIADM party members burnt down hoardings and banners demanding an apology from the team. The makers of the film, Sun Pictures, then decided to remove these scenes from the film. (This scene)

Now, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan has voiced his views in support of A. R. Murugadoss. He posted ”Sarkar has been certified by CBFC. Yet Government dares to muffle the right of people to express. This is not democracy. Fascism was defeated before, will be done again. @ARMurugadoss”

Starring Vijay in the lead, Sarkar has hit the bullseye at the box-office and has become one of the highest-grossing films of the year.

Do you think A. R. Murugadoss should apologize?
