"West Bengal government supported me" Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan was recently seen at the inauguration of the 19th Kolkata International Film festival where he was noticed interacting with the press. Kamal in the interactive session mentioned that film festivals were his temples of learning.

When the actor was asked if he attended the film festival in Kolkata because the West Bengal government did not ban the release of the magnum opus Vishwaroopam, Kamal replied saying that he is not a political animal.

He said that the state supported him because they felt he was right. Kamal also stated that he had received similar support from the state when there were glitches during the release of Hey Ram.
