CHENNAI: A life convict in the Coimbatore bomb blast case, S A Basha, has come down heavily on actor Kamal Haasan for ‘justifying’ the killing of the perpetrators of violence in his latest film ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, which shows the protagonist, played by the actor himself, taking the law into his hands.

In a letter to Kamal Haasan, a copy of which is available with Express, Basha, now undergoing sentence at the Coimbatore Central prison, has accused the actor of doing a film with a potential to affect communal harmony in the country.

“While we, the perpetrators of the Coimbatore bomb blast, have ourselves realised that violence is the not the solution for any problem and have decided to find solution through peaceful means, we are shocked to learn that an actor of your caliber has succumbed to religious hatred and is suggesting violent remedies.” Raghavan, who represented Basha in the Coimbatore bomb blast case, confirms that he has a copy of the letter, which was sent to Kamal on September 29.

In the letter, Basha referred to various communal conflicts allegedly triggered by Hindu fundamentalist groups in the country and asked Kamal if he would shoot a movie about the communal conflicts orchestrated by Hindu fundamentalists.

Basha also stated that the investigation officers of the Coimbatore blast case concluded that it had no connection with terrorism or extremism, as it was a conflict between the two communities. “Based on that, the court has also punished us, but portraying the perpetrators as those who have received training from Afghanistan only promotes communal feeling among the people. You should have had a proper discussion with us before making a film like this,’’ Basha said.

Basha has indirectly accused the actor of not having the courage to make a film on actual perpetrators of violence and making a film that supports them. Basha signed off by asking the actor to involve in activities that strengthen the secular and democratic spirit of the nation.
The Ilam Tamilar Iyakkam has also sent a letter to the actor condemning him on similar grounds. Kamal Haasan could not be contacted.
