Audiences should watch films like The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief: Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan said audiences should go to watch a film like The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief and then think.

When asked if he would ban The Kerala Story if given a chance, the South megastar said, “I wouldn’t ban any film, let them talk. I would try to tell people to understand the film and what is the purpose of the film. That’s what I am doing when people ask me about... because my film was banned in Tamil Nadu, Vishwaroopam. People are still wondering why it was banned. There was a case between Raj Kamal Films and the Tamil Nadu government. We won the case and released the film. I wouldn’t advocate banning any film. As a matter of fact, I was one of the strong advocates in turning certification board into a censor board and banning or editing films.”

He then added, “This country should have free speech. They can certify the film and say certain people could not see the film. Audiences should go to watch a film like The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief and then think.”
