Sa Ra Govindu, President of Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), has confirmed the ban on Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kaala in the state in an official statement.
He has said that several pro-Kannadiga groups have sent letters to the chamber seeking a ban on the film in Karnataka. “Rajinikanth’s remarks in the Cauvery issue has hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas,” he added.
Several fringe groups headed by Vattal Nagaraj have also sought a ban on the film’s release in Karnataka. Kaala is set to hit the theaters on June 7.
