India, July 6 -- The controversy around Kamal Haasan's "Kannada was born out of Tamil" remark refuses to die down even a month later. Weeks after the Supreme Court ruled that the actor-politician (70) need not apologise for the comment, a local court in Bengaluru passed an ex parte interim injunction order, restraining him from making any remarks against the language.

The court has banned Kamal from "posting, making, writing, publishing any statement or remarks claiming linguistic superiority over Kannada language or making any statements against the Kannada language, literature, land and culture". It court also issued a summons to the actor and posted the case to August 30 for further hearing.
