Speaking to the media in Malaysia, veteran kollywood actor Kamal Hassan said that media was merely a mirror which reflects the society. “Tamil films are merely mirrors which reflect incidents, occurrences and behavioural patterns of people.Violence is widely reported in the daily life of the people in Tamil Nadu, particularly in the rural areas. We, through the movies, attempt to highlight the social problems which already exist.", the actor was quoted as saying. He was replying to the allegation by a section of the malaysian media that tamil films cast an adverse impact on the youth of Malaysia. He also assured the audience that talented youngsters will be given opportunities to prove themselves in Kollywood.
