Kamal Haasan attacked on Twitter for curt message mourning Jaya
Synopsis
Kamal Haasan's condolence message rubs up Jaya supporters the wrong way
However, Kollywood actor Kamal Haasan’s message condoling the death of Jayalalithaa has upset many, especially Amma's supporters.
Kamal posted a curt message on Twitter. “To all those associated/connected, I pay my condolences.”
The message, which appeared ambiguous, upset Jayalalithaa's supporters, who accused him of showing no respect to a departed soul.
According to a TV report, the actor is in the US where he is shooting for his upcoming film. Hence he was unable to pay his last respects in person to the late Amma.
A few of her Amma's supporters also alleged that the message was because Haasan and Jayalalithaa got into a dispute during the release of Vishwaroopam a few years ago.
The Tamil Nadu government had banned the movie after a few Muslim organisations accused the film of showing their community in a bad light.
Jayalalithaa's funeral was held at the Marina Beach in Chennai, near the memorial of her mentor MGR and Tamil Nadu's iconic leader, Annadurai.
