According to sources relationship between the Tamil film industry and the E Palaniswamy government in Tamil Nadu has reached an all time low. First the state government was humbled when they had to withdraw the additional local body taxes in addition to GST on cinema tickets.
Theaters across the state shut down for four days and a gentle reminder from a central government minister had the Tamilnadu government running for cover.Meanwhile, in an attempt to get back at Kamal Hassan, the ruling AIADMK has also stooped to attacking him personally. Tamilnadu law minister CV Shanmugham said, "Kamal Hassan deserves to be booked under the SC and ST ACT for the remark about 'slum behavior' made by one of the participants on Bigg Boss Tamil, which is hosted by him.
Moreover, the only person who came out in support of Kamal Hassan was Opposition and DMK leader MK Stalin, who said, "Kamal Hassan is reflecting the sentiments of the people. It is the right of every voter, including Kamal, to criticize the benami and horse trading government in power.
