Since JayalalithaaвЂ™s death in December, the tone and tenor of HaasanвЂ™s statements have changed significantly. They pointed out that Haasan had rarely made political statements when Jayalalithaa was alive, given her intolerance to criticism. These statements prompted strong responses from ministers in Tamil Nadu.

He also said Jayalalithaa could not be placed on the same pedestal as her political mentor MG Ramachandran and arch rival Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam President M Karunanidhi. However, in a television interview last month, he claimed that the troubles caused during the release of the film could not have happened without state support. But he later agreed to edit some portions of the film to pacify the protesting Muslim groups.ДЄt the time, Haasan had thanked Jayalalithaa for her cooperation in resolving the controversy. Haasan declared stated that he would leave the country if the film was stalled. Fearing a law and order problem, the state government under Chief Minister Jayalalithaa ordered theatres not to show the film. The source of this animosity goes back to 2013, when his film Viswaroopam got into trouble with Muslim groups, who alleged that some of the scenes hurt their religious sentiments. Kamal HaasanвЂ™s strained relationship with the AIADMK is well known. This has also led observers wonder if Haasan is carrying his cinema rivalry to another sphere. HaasanвЂ™s statements have become more acerbic ever since the stateвЂ™s other superstar, Rajinikanth, asked his followers in May to get ready for a war after denouncing the political system. On Tuesday, he also called for a вЂњnew independence movementвЂќ against corruption, stating that everyone is a slave till there was freedom from corruption. The aggressive nature of his tweets has made political observers in Tamil Nadu wonder if this is a precursor to his formal entry into politics. Enough crimes done- Kamal Haasan August 15, 2017 How come no party calls for resignation in TN. If one state's CM should resign for a mishap & corruption under his govt. He said this while comparing Tamil NaduвЂ™s situation with the controversy in Uttar Pradesh, following the Gorakhpur tragedy in which over 60 children died in a government hospital. Tuesday saw this battle reach its peak, with Haasan indirectly seeking the resignation of Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswamy, claiming that вЂњenough crimesвЂќ have already been committed under the regime. The Tamil Bigg Boss host has trained his guns firmly on the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, using a mixture of mockery and criticism that has enraged ministers in Tamil Nadu.
