Reacting to the development, newly appointed Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said that state government will take the final call on Kaala’s Karnataka release. As quoted by Indian Express, the Chief Minister mentioned that people of Karnataka are unwilling to welcome Rajinikanth’s movie. Recently, the actor turned politician had requested Karnataka government to release Tamil Nadu’s legitimate share of Cauvery water. Irked with the remarks of Rajani, Pro-Kannada organizations have decided to boycott the movie of Rajinikanth.
This is not the first time Kannada activists are opposing Rajinikanth’s outing. In 2008, his film Kuselan was stalled over his fiery remarks on Kannadigas. Later he had to tender an apology for the same. Similarly, another actor turned politician Kamal Haasan might encounter with the same problem for his aggressive Cauvery river board campaign Haasan’s controversial yet much anticipated Vishwaroopam 2 will hit the screens probably in August.
