It is also significant for the fact that actor Kamal Haasan has already announced that this was going to be one of his last few films – the rest being Sabaash Naidu and Indian 2. Kamal Haasan has also insisted time and again that the film in fact features a patriotic Indian Muslim as the hero. Though the release of the film is likely to be smooth on August 10, much has indeed changed in Tamil Nadu since Vishwaroopam II was announced..
