Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan was irked by Subramanian Swamy`s comments that Tamils are "Porukkis" (hooligans) and from then on started a war of words between the two stalwarts of cinema and politics.

Subramanian Swamy replying to a person on social media if BJP will accept the leadership of Kamal had stated "I don't know about BJP but I will oppose this boneless wonder and pompous idiot called Kamal Hasan.".

Not one to back down Kamal Haasan has replied to the BJP MP loaded with diplomacy, sarcasm and clever word play.
