The ban on Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam has not only affected the celebs in K-Town, but also those in B-Town. Many leading celebs like Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Farhan Akthar, Shabana Azmi, Shekhar Kapur and Sonam Kapoor to name a few, have voiced their support for Kamal. While everyone are furious about an actor's freedom of expression being banned, Salman Khan urges Kamal Haasan fans to stand outside the cinema hall and insist on watching the film. He added furiously that the South Indian actors should also do the same, in different theaters.

A disturbed Abhishek Bachchan says the audience should decide for themselves, by not watching the film if they feel offended by a film or its contents. Farhan Akthar says that the ban is not only harassing the filmmaker, but is also ridiculing the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) and he questions, if their decision can't be upheld, why subject filmmakers to their review? Shabana Azmi feels that it is unacceptable for a handful of protestors to hold a film's release at ransom.

The final decision on the release of Vishwaroopam in Tamil is still awaited.
