Prakash Raj breaks 'Kaala' silence
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 04 2018]
Amid criticism that Prakash Raj is silent on the proposed ban on 'Kaala' in Karnataka, the versatile artist has protested the decision of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and the silence of the JDS-Congress government in the Kannada state.
What’s film 'Kaala' got to do with Kaveri issue? Why is the film fraternity targeted always? Will JDS/Congress government let fringe elements take the law into their hands, like how BJP did with 'Padmavat'? Or will you step in to assure common man his right for choice, the 'Bharat Ane Nenu' and 'Rangasthalam' actor said on Twitter.
He posted a long statement on the controversy. “There is a deep bond between man and a river. So when we talk of Cauvery, we do get extremely emotional about it... But getting emotional won't solve an issue; we need to be practical about it too, Prakash Raj noted.
He said that people's sentiments regarding 'Kaala' can be gauged only by allowing its release and seeing if people want to watch it.
