Controversy over Kamal Haasan presence at this Event !

31/12/2013
It's known that our legendary actor-director Padmashree Kamal Haasan inaugurated the sixth edition of the Bangalore International Film Festival at the Jnana Jyothi Auditorium, Central College Campus, on December 26th. In a sort of controversial manner not even a single Tamil film has been selected for screening at the Bengaluru Film Festival. When enquired about this, we came to know that a jury was appointed to select the movies for screening and every movie that has made it to this event were based on only their assent.

Interestingly, the fact that it was our Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan who inaugurated the BIFF has created a controversy as some opine the legend shouldn’t have been part of the event that voluntarily boycotted Tamil cinema.
