Arrest Kamal Haasan, Ban Bigg Boss Tamil, Fringe Group Tells Police

CHENNAI:  Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan is facing the ire of a right-wing group that wants the police to arrest him and ban the reality television show "Bigg Boss Tamil" for hurting sentiments of people in Tamil Nadu. The show hosted by Kamal Haasan went on air late last month; it was his television debut.

The group, Hindu Makkal Katchi, also wants the contestants in the reality show to be arrested. It complained, according to news agency IANS, that participants in the show that



went on air from 25 June were "mouthing obscene statements and are acting 75 per cent nude".

"They should be arrested under law because they are hurting Tamil culture and the programme should be banned," the group said in a statement, insisting that it hurt the sentiments of 7 crore people of the state.

All 15 participants except one are actors and will remain locked in the house fitted with 30 cameras. One participant is eliminated every week.
