This was how an upset NCP Chief Sharad Pawar reacted to actor Kamal Haasan's plans of self-exile from the country following problems over the release of his film "Vishwaroopam".

In an emotional outburst, Haasan had yesterday said that Tamil Nadu does not want him to stay in the state and he might seek a "secular" place in the country or overseas, citing M F Husain's exile.

Madras High Court had stayed the screening of his Tamil film "Vishwaroopam" in the state even as he agreed to remove certain scenes.

Haasan had said that he had pledged all his property to make the trilingual movie, estimated to have cost around Rs 100 crore. He said he might lose his house because of the losses incurred by the delay in the release of the movie.
