Vishwaroopam

Vishwaroopam was in trouble when the Hindu Makkal Katchi party demanded the change of its title from a Sanskrit title to a purely Tamil one. Furthermore, Kamal Haasan announced that the film would have a direct-to-home (DTH) premiere but theatre owners demanded a rollback of this plan as they feared major revenue losses to DTH companies. After that, various Muslim groups in Tamil Nadu demanded the ban of the film claiming that the film would hurt Muslim sentiments. Although the film was cleared by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), district collectors in the state of Tamil Nadu gave orders to the theatre owners to not show the film citing law and order problems.
