What is the update on the Kannada language controversy?

Last month was very difficult for Kamal Haasan, as he made a controversial statement about the Kannada language during the promotion of his film 'Thug Life'. In this, the actor had said, 'Kannada is born from Tamil'. He was criticized a lot for this. There was outrage among pro-Kannada groups and cultural organizations and an FIR was also lodged against him. Now the next hearing of this case will be on August 30.
