Kannada originated from Tamil

Recently, at the promotion event of the Thuglife film festival held in Chennai, he said that the Kannada language originated from Tamil, and that the mother tongue of Kannada is Tamil.

Regarding this, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Sivakumar said

Condemning this, Kannada political associations and Kannada language organizations condemned Kamal’s speech,
Furthermore, the Karnataka Film Trade Association had warned that the film Thuglife could be released in Karnataka only if Kamal Haasan apologized.
Furthermore, protests were held in areas like Bangalore and Mysore, such as setting fire to Kamal Haasan’s effigy.

Following this, when journalists asked him what the public historians had told me, he said that he had told this news with love, with the intention that we are all brothers.
He also said that only linguistic historians should discuss this language issue, not politicians.

Furthermore, a petition had been filed in the High Court asking whether the film Thuglife, a film by Dhaadhu, would be released on the specified June 6.

Regarding this, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Sivakumar said,

Do not politicize what Kamal Haasan said, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, neighboring states, should work together,
Karnataka water goes to Tamil Nadu, the people there are working in Karnataka, we should all act as friends, he said.
