As per our sources in the Madras High Court, the arguments in favor and against the ban on Vishwaroopam are going on in a feverish pitch.

Advocate P S Raman representing Kamal’s side reiterated that Kamal had put in all the money that he had earned in the industry, in Vishwaroopam and the ban on the film in the state is causing quite a lot of financial loss to him. He also argued that while the film is running in the neighboring states without any law and order issue, how such an issue can crop in Tamil Nadu. He further questioned that if 31 districts in the state have banned the film citing law and order issue, is the state in such a bad condition that law and order cannot be maintained.

Advocate Navaneethakrishnan argued on behalf of the State and accused that there are fraudulent measures employed in obtaining the censor certificate for the film. Generally 12 to 31 members watch a film for censor approval but in Vishwaroopam, only 5 members had watched film. 

With this, the pre-lunch session came to a close and the court is meeting at 2.15 pm after the lunch. We will keep you posted.
