Finally, Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth had to pay huge for his controversial statement on Cauvery waters. As we all know, Rajini's statement made Kannada people gone furious over the Superstar.
As a result, Kannada film distributors imposed a ban on the film in the state. In order get the movie released barring the protests, the makers approached the Supreme Court. and the court signalled green for the film's release in Karnataka.
Even then, no exhibitor came forward to screen the film in Karnataka. Although the movie was screened in a theatre, within a couple of minutes, the show was cancelled and gave the tickets prices back to the audience.
It remains to be seen if any negotiations might happen between Kaala's team and Kannada Rakshana Vedika for the safe release of the film or not.
Kaala was directed by Pa Ranjith on Dhanush's Wunderbar Films.
