Fringe outfit Hindu Makkal Katchi has called for the arrest of megastar Kamal Haasan and contestant of 'Big Boss Tamil', claiming the show demeans the Tamil culture. Responding to the demand, Haasan said, “I am not bound to reply to the group which demands my arrest, but I have full confidence in the law. Only those who are genuinely affected can ring the bells of judiciary. The present system of judiciary knows that very well and I am confident about that. If they want me to be arrested, let that happen. The law will protect me. The justice will protect me.”

Regarding allegations of the show disrupting Tamil culture, 'Ulaganayagan' said, “I don't want to become naughty and talk about various things that these people have been quiet on. But 'Bigg Boss' has been on air for 11 years. May be because these guys don't understand Hindi. But the program has also come in Kannada. It seems they don't know Kannada either. These guys liked me when I did 'Dasavatharam'. They didn't like me when I made 'Viswaroopam'. They don't like when I go in another direction.”
