Kamal Haasan is in a seriously defiant mood.
He is thinking of changing his distinctly Muslim-sounding name to a more prounounced Islamic-sounding 'Qamal Haasan'.
"Just to show a sense of solidarity with my Muslim brothers, including Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ], whom I am very fond of," Haasan explains.
"It doesn't matter whether I am really Muslim or not. If I have to suffer for my name, I'm willing to do so," says Kamal.
Kamal Haasan [ Images ] faced some trouble at an airport in Canada [ Images ] when he had been visiting. He was detained and questioned because his name sounded Muslim.
"My father did a very mischievous thing," Haasan says. "Maybe it was because I was born when he was 50, and by then he had developed a sense of humour about human quirks and contradictions. He gave me a Muslim-sounding name. My brothers Charu and Chandra Haasan don't have to face this.
Sametime he was onboard USS Carl Vinson
Kamal Haasan was aboard the super-luxurious American navy ship USS Carl Vinson as a guest of the US government.
No troubled waters for Haasan
I dont get it?
