Chennai, 3 June (H.S.): espite protests from actor Kamal Haasan, theatre owners in Karnataka have decided to go ahead with the screening of his film 'Thug Life'. The film's producers and distributors had faced opposition from the actor, who had reportedly raised objections to certain aspects of the film.

The Karnataka Film Chamber (KFCC) has come out in support of the film's producers, stating that the movie will be screened in theatres across the state as scheduled. The KFCC has maintained that the film has been cleared by the censor board and has all the necessary permissions for release.

Theatre owners in Karnataka have also expressed their support for the KFCC's stance, saying that they will screen 'Thug Life' as planned. The decision to defy Kamal Haasan's protest has sparked a heated debate in the film industry, with many taking sides on the issue.

The situation is likely to escalate further, with Kamal Haasan's representatives possibly taking legal action against the film's producers and distributors. However, for now, it seems that 'Thug Life' will hit the screens in Karnataka as scheduled, despite the controversy surrounding it.
