Kaala Landed In Deep Waters

Rajinikanth’s blockbuster Kaala has hit choppy waters in the state of Karnataka. The movie has been scheduled to release on June 7, and fans have been waiting for the film with bated breath. After his comments on the Cauvery water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, pro-Karnataka organisations had pressured the KFCC for a ban.

They had argued that Rajinikanth had taken an anti-Karnataka stand on the Cauvery issue. The actor/politician’s alleged statement earlier, “Whichever government comes to power in Karnataka should implement the Supreme Court order about Cauvery water sharing,” is at the heart of the ban. The Kannada film industry speaks about the issue and what lies ahead for Kaala, which has entered its own ‘black’ phase even before its release.

The Rajini-starrer, which sees the Thalaiva playing a good Samaritan seeking justice against the atrocities of a landlord played by Nana Patekar, is a no-show in Karnataka. With this ban, the livelihood of many people connected to the film will be affected. Actor Chetan Kumar feels that the crew should not be affected, “Although, I don’t know the details, there are hundreds of people involved in the making of a film”.
