Kamal Haasan views on speaking in Hindi

Kamal Haasan is promoting his film Thug Life directed by Mani Ratnam across the country. Today he promoted the film in the state of Kerala.

Interacting with the scribes, he shared his thoughts on speaking in Hindi. He said “First, you learn the language of the state next to you, then we’ll talk about learning Hindi. All of us are Dravidians, one family. You can speak in Malayalam in Tamil Nadu, but if you speak for a very long time, it’ll be difficult to understand. But if you speak Tamil in Kerala, people will understand it.”

He went on to add  “It is our responsibility to ensure that our language doesn’t disappear. Do you know how much dil (courage) it takes to make such a statement in this state? All of us are Dravidians. With that pride, we offer our family Thug Life. Namaskaram.”

The film is releasing on 5 June 2025. Thug Life stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rohit Saraf and Babura in important roles.
