During a promotional event for 'Thug Life", Haasan said: 'You are my family that is residing in Karnataka, and hence, you came all the way here.

Later, Haasan defended his remark, saying that he said it out of love and that a lot of historians have taught him the history of languages. First Published: July 04, 2025, 21:05 IST
