Kamal Haasan on jallikattu, Om Puri, Bollywood, more

Defending the game of jallikattu currently banned in Tamil Nadu, superstar Kamal Haasan today said at the first India Today Conclave South that he is a big fan and all those who hate the bull sport should give up on biryani too. "If you want a ban on jallikattu, let's also ban biryani," Haasan told Managing Editor Rahul Kanwal at the conclave in Chennai. "I'm a big fan of jallikattu," he said.

This comment on the bull taming sport by Hasaan led to a national storm. Experts join India Today's Rahul Kanwal over a discussion on the actor's controversial comment and the need to ban jallikattu.

The 62-year-old actor also opened up on his relationship with actor Om Puri, who passed away on January 6, and revealed the reason why he left Bombay.
