Vishwaroopam probably is the one of the most controversial film of Kamala Haasan. The trouble started when the Tamil Nadu-based Hindu Makkal Katchi asked the makers to change the Sanskrit title - "Viswaroopam" - to a pure Tamil tiltle and accused Kamal for ignoring the Tamil language.
The movie also faced threat of ban and faced issues in screening the movie when a Muslim organisation Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazagham claimed the movie for representing the Muslim community as a group of terrorists.
Later the issue was settled down after continuous discussion and legal battles.
'Dasavatharam'
Kamal Haasan's another movie "Dasavatharam" also had similar issues. The problems started when Hindu Makkal Katchi lodged police complaint against actress Mallika for wearing improper attire at the audio launch function of the movie and thereby "hurting the sentiments of Hindus".
Later Viswa Hindu Parishad claimed that the movie wrongly portrayed the clash between Saivism and Vaishnavism, which prevailed in 12th century. Later, the makers confirmed that the movie did not have any controversial scenes. The charges against the movie were later cleared on the grounds that it did not portray Hindu culture in bad light.
