Commenting on the approach of Karnataka film association, the ace actor stated that instead of supporting film fraternity, the film board is backing fringe elements in the name of Protest. Reacting to the order of Karnataka High court, Rajani hoped that state government under Chief Minister Kumaraswamy will ensure the smooth sailing of Kaala by providing enough security arrangements for exhibitors who are willing to screen the movie despite the protest of Pro-Kannada groups.
Yesterday, makers of Kaala had filed a petition in Karnataka High Court against the proposed ban. Meanwhile, Supreme Court today turned down the plea of K S Rajashekaran demanding a ban on the release of Kaala citing copyright violation issue.
During Karnataka polls, Rajanikanth opined that irrespective of poll-outcome, new state government should follow the directions of the apex court on the issue of Cauvery. Irked by his comments, several Kannada outfits called for a complete ban on screening Kaala in the state of Karnataka.
