After the Supreme Court backed the release of Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' in Karnataka, distributor Venkatesh Kamalakar said it doesn't make sense to release the film. "It's because it's not a good business decision to release the film now. Haasan's...'Indian 2' also didn't do well here," he added. The film faced backlash over Haasan's controversial remarks on the Kannada language.
