Indo-Pakistan Tension Delays Kamal Haasan's Film 'Thug Life' Audio Launch
Chennai Chat: Kamal Haasan, the actor, boldly delayed his film's audio launch, Thug Life, which was initially set for May 16. This shift comes amidst the tense India-Pakistan standoff, causing heightened alert in the country1[2].
Haasan stated, "While our soldiers brave the frontlines with unshakable courage for our motherland, I believe this is a moment for solemn solidarity, not celebrations." He also mentioned that the rescheduled date for the film, directed by none other than Mani Ratnam, will be unveiled soon. Haasan encourages citizens to approach this time with restraint and unity35.
Following suit, Chief Minister MK Stalin has called for a solidarity march along Marina Beach Road, starting from the DGP office and ending at the Island Ground. This collective event is set for tomorrow, and various dignitaries, such as ministers, ex-servicemen, and students, are expected to participate6. The Chief Minister also urges the public, beyond merely attending the march, to express their support for the Indian army's valiant efforts to defend our nation.
In a public gathering in Trichy, MK Stalin led the crowd in a tribute to the soldiers, saluting them as a token of reverence and a remembrance of the lives lost in the recent Pahalgam terror attack.
In regards to safety concerns raised by parents of 52 Tamil Nadu students studying in Kashmir and 4 other students visiting the state, MK Stalin confirmed that necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the students' well-being. Authorities are currently in dialogue with those in the Union Territory to organize their return to Chennai once the situation improves. Four students already on the road are set to reach Delhi tonight, with plans of flying back home tomorrow morning.
Lastly, Leader of Opposition, Edappadi K Palaniswamy, requested his party members to forgo visiting him or celebrating his birthday on May 12. Instead, he encourages prayers for the soldiers' well-being and victory, as well as participation in welfare projects, such as health camps and blood donation7.
