Rajinikanth’s Appeal To HD Kumaraswamy For “Kaala”, A Message In Kannada

Bengaluru: Actor-politician Rajinikanth — whose new movie "Kaala" is facing opposition from pro-Kannada groups — has appealed to Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to provide security at theatres that wished to screen the film as it releases nationwide tomorrow. Several pro-Kannada groups have threatened to stall the movie if it is screened despite an earlier ban on it by the Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce. A huge section of the film fraternity in the state has admitted to being hugely upset by the superstar’s remarks on Cauvery water row.
