SS Rajamouli Reacts To BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION Ban In Karnataka
| |||
Saturday, 15th April 2017, 2:30 PM IST ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ got banned in Karnataka due to Sathyaraj, who plays Kattappa in ‘Baahubali’, whose statement with regards to the Cauvery issue hasn’t gone down well with over 2,000 Kanada organizations. Director SS Rajamouli now spoke up on the issue. He was heard quoting, “The saddest thing is people tend to ignore, tend to think it’s a recent issue. The comment Mr Sathyaraj had made was about nine years ago. From out part, we don’t know details of it, what Mr Sathyaraj actually said because we don’t understand Tamil. We know a little but we don’t know what he actually said, we don’t what the objection is of the Kannadigas. The thing is – the comment was made nine years ago, so many of his films released, at least 30 of his films released during this time, ‘Baahubali Part 1’ released. There was no objection at that time. It (the ban) is suddenly out of the blue. My thing is that – we are in no way connected with the issue. It’s a very sensitive issue. We don’t know what to talk about that issue, whether our speaking will pacify the matter or instigate the matter in some other way. We don’t know whether keeping quiet is the right thing or talking out is the right thing. We are in a confused state. Main thing is – we are in no way concerned with his statement. Sathya is not the director of the film, not the producer of the film, not the main hero of the film. Turning the anger on Sathyaraj towards ‘Baahubali’ somehow is not right. We feel it’s not right. It doesn’t affect Sathyaraj anyway. If at all it affects, it affects the film which has nothing to do with Sathyaraj or his opinion.” ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ releases elsewhere in India on 28th of this month.
