The Kannada activists headed by Vatal Nagaraj have called for Bengaluru bundh on the release day of Baahubali 2` – the reason is Tamil super star Sathyaraj (Kattappa in the film) very old statement made on Kannadigas and calling Vataral Nagaraj as Periya Joker`.

A rally will be held on 28th of April (probable day of Baahubali 2 release) from Town Hall. In case the Multiplexes screen the film they will face the protest.

According to Vatal Nagaraj all the Kannada associations are joining this protest. The protest is mainly on Sathyaraj statements on Kannadigas and on Cauvery issue. The distributors in Karnataka should not take the rights of the film until Sathyaraj apologize for his statements in the past say Vatal Nagaraj.

Sa Ra Govindu, KFCC President and Dr Rajakumar Fans Association head has also extended support Vatal Nagara.
