Varanasi: A court today fixed November 22 for hearing a complaint against actor Kamal Haasan for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments with his recent remark that “right- wing groups can’t deny existence of Hindu terrorism”.

The application was moved in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Sudhakar Dubey here by lawyer Kamlesh Chandra Tripathi here yesterday.

The court today decided to hear the matter on November 22, Tripathi said.
