Kamal Haasan Backs Vetri Maaran's Statement On Rajaraja Cholan's Religion

Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan' has received universal acclaim, and the film has aroused debate on King Rajaraja Chola's faith. Vetri Maaran, a national award-winning filmmaker, recently asserted that Rajaraja Cholan is not a Hindu king, sparking outrage across the country. Kamal Haasan, the legendary actor, has backed Vetri Maaran's statement.

In response to the ensuing dispute, Kamal Haasan asserted that Hinduism did not exist during the reign of Rajaraja Chola and that only Saivam, Vainavam, and Jainism existed at the time. He went on to say that the British gave him the name Hindu. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan has praised Chiyaan Vikram and Karthi for their portrayals as Aditha Karikalan and Vandiyadevan, respectively, and complimented everyone involved in the creation of 'Ponniyin Selvan.' Kamal Haasan is even more excited to see the second installment of 'Ponniyin Selvan.' Chiyaan Vikram, who loved Kamal Haasan's speech, commended the actor's expertise following the encounter, and a cute video of the two has gone viral on social media. Kamal Haasan is also pleased with the box office performance of 'Ponniyin Selvan,' stating that he will be happy if the picture outperforms his recent hit 'Vikram.' One of the actors who missed 'Ponniyin Selvan' was Kamal Haasan, who wished to play Vandiyadevan, who Karthi now plays in Mani Ratnam's movie. Kamal Haasan saw the film at a special showing in Chennai, and then he spoke with the press and media afterward, alongside 'Ponniyin Selvan' stars Chiyaan Vikram and Karthi.
