Kamal Haasan denies commenting on Tamil Nadu government

Actor and filmmaker Kamal Haasan on Monday denied making remarks against the Tamil Nadu government with regards to the flood relief activities in the state.

Haasan received a lot of flak for his alleged comment against the government. He also said he has been “apolitical” for a very long time.

“In my letter to a journalist friend, I only expressed my concern over the flood-ravaged people of the state. Neither had I made any comment about the state government nor wanted to know how the taxpayer’s money was being spent,” he said in a statement.

“I wouldn’t have paid my taxes all these years if I worried about how it was being used,” he said.

Tamil Nadu is reeling under the worst floods to have hit the state in a century.
