For the past one week, some pro-Kannada organisations have been staging protests against the release of ‘Baahubali 2- The Conclusion’ in Karnataka following some allegedly inflammatory comments made by actor Sathyaraj .
On Thursday, some organisations burnt the effigies of Kattappa and announced that they will not allow the release of Baahubali in Karnataka. The have demanded an apology from the Sathyaraj.
Baahubali director Rajamouli took to twitter and released a video requesting to the people that “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” should not be targeted for some comments made by actor Sathyaraj nine years ago.
“Sathyaraj sir is not the producer or director of the film. He is one among the many artists who have worked in the film. If this movie doesn’t release as planned in Karnataka, he has nothing to lose. It’s unfair to target the film because of some comments he had made,” Rajamouli said in a video message.
“I have already discussed the situation with Sathyaraj sir. I don’t have the authority or the energy to talk more on this issue. I request that our film doesn’t get dragged into this controversy,” he said.
