A spoof from unreal times again.

The past week has seen a lot of controversy, frustration and drama shrouding the release of ace actor Kamal Haasan's magnum opus "Vishwaroopam". Having been banned by the Tamil Nadu government due to content that is allegedly offensive to certain groups, the movie's release has been eventually stayed by the Madras High Court after a series of flip-flops.

What actually happened that resulted in such circumstances? The UnReal Times' ever-dependable investigative journalist, Atul Baskarbe, brings you the inside story in pictures:

It has been banned in TN due to some objection by the Muslims there...even though the film has been cleared by the censor board

@chillmahaul - nothing is wrong it seemsThe movei has been released in kerala and (other than a few protests) is running peacefully even in 'Malabar' region where muslims are in large numberThe opposition leader of TN , mr.Karunanidhi has already said that all this issues are related to satellite rights of the movies. Both jaya & karunadidhi own channels in TN. I guess kamal was not ready to give the rights to jaya tv
