Haasan threatened with ?100 cr lawsuit over Bigg Boss row
The leader of political party Puthiya Tamizhagam has threatened to file a ?100 crore defamation case against Kamal Haasan and a Tamil TV channel for not apologising over a contestant's 'derogatory' comment during the Tamil version of Bigg Boss. "[He] did not... condemn it or talk about this in the show despite many people raising this issue," the leader added.
Kamal Haasan and Bigg Boss Tamil is involved in yet another controversy, as K Krishnaswamy, leader of Puthiya Tamizhagam has threatened to file a Rs 100 crore defamation case against the actor and the channel for what a contestant said during the show.  One of the contestants, Gayathri Raghuram used the word cheri (which mean slum dweller) for a co-contestant, which received a lot of criticism from the viewers. Politician K Krishnaswamy wants Kamal Haasan to apologise for Gayathri's comment.  While talking to The Times Of India, the politician said, "In the show, there was a conversation between two contestants. One of them called the other as 'cheri' (slum dweller). It is a public platform, and millions of people are watching it. We are sure that it is definitely a prepared script. The channel cannot say it was a mistake. They are creating an imbalance in the society and hurting one particular section of the society."
