Karnataka promises security for theatres if Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life releases

The Karnataka government has assured the Supreme Court that it will provide adequate security to theatres if actor Kamal Haasan’s film Thug Life is released in the state, amid protests and threats from Kannada language activists.


A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan took note of the assurance and emphasized that no mob or vigilante group can dictate public life, particularly in matters of artistic expression.

The court intervention followed a plea filed by petitioner M Mahesh Reddy, who challenged the non-release of the film in Karnataka after local protests intensified. The court previously reprimanded the state for failing to curb unlawful disruptions.

“If any threats are made against the film’s screening, the government must act against divisive elements,” the court said firmly, underscoring its stand on protecting constitutional rights.

What sparked the backlash?
The protests were triggered by controversial remarks allegedly made by Kamal Haasan about the Kannada language, which activists claimed were “insulting.” In response, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) initially declared that Thug Life would not be screened unless Haasan issued a public apology.

Activists went further, lodging police complaints and warning theatres against showing the film, prompting concerns over law and order.

SC response and closure of plea
The Supreme Court noted the Karnataka government’s official commitment to maintain peace and provide security during the film’s screening. Satisfied with the response, the court closed the plea without issuing further directions.

The judgment sends a clear message: artistic works cannot be suppressed through intimidation, and state authorities are obligated to safeguard freedom of expression under the Constitution.
