The Kannada film industry and the Sandalwood media are apparently upset that some of the big-ticket pan-Indian movies from Sandalwood have not tasted even a decent release in other States, especially the Telugu States and Tamil Nadu.
Actor Suriya was in Bengaluru on Monday to promote Kanguva. On the occasion, a film journalist there asked if, say, a Shivarajkumar movie were to be released in Tamil Nadu, would Suriya ensure that it gets a big release. “Your movie, Kanguva, will be released on 300 screens in Karnataka,” the journo said. The tone of the questioning says it all. Kannadigas want their films to find a big release in other States because they are embracing non-Kannada movies on a big scale.
There are murmurs that Pushpa: The Rule will receive at least a minor backlash from a section of the Sandalwood media and the Kannada film industry because the Diwali release, Bagheera, was given a raw deal in the Telugu States.
Kanguva will arrive at the cinemas on November 14th. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 will arrive at the cinemas on December 5th.
