Kamal has no escape from it, even though he is mostly blameless.

Problems continue to dog his films even though he keeps quiet and minds his business.

Yesterday, Thol Thirumavalavan, the DPI general secretary, has sounded a warning to actor Kamal Haasan and director S J Suryah for naming their films in English (Mumbai Express and BF respectively).

Warning them to change their titles, Thirumavalavan said, "if these titles are not changed, we would prevent them from shooting the movie".

Kamal has made it clear several times over that there was nothing English about his film's title, it is just that he was using the word 'Express' as it has wide currency in Tamil itself.

But when some politicos are out to get some cheap publicity, he cannot do anything.
