Veteran actor Kamal Haasan has alleged that the government was responsible for the crisis he faced in 2013, during the release of 'Viswaroopam'. Recounting the struggles he went through during those times in a recent interview, he said, "'Viswaroopam' was banned by the Government. We got the ban vacated through the court. But the then ruling Government banned the film again. Only after the swelling of people's support, the ban was removed. My financial stability was shattered. I was forced to mortgage my properties. I have never evaded tax but I lost £6 million during that time. Only the support of people keeps me alive till now."
He said he hoped 'Viswaroopam 2' "does not face any hardship like its predecessor. But we cannot forget that anything can happen."
