In the apology statement made by actor Sathyaraj to Karnataka people and Kannadigas, there has been quick response to it in Chennai. Perhaps the apology made by Sathyaraj is not liked by the Tamil Nadu filmdom.

Three Kannada films booked were cancelled on the day of Sathyraj statement. Shuddi, Chakravarthy and Srinivasa Kalyana` films advance booking in Chennai theatres have been cancelled suddenly in the wake of Sathyaraj apology to Kannadigas.

Meanwhile the meeting on Saturday by KFCC, Kannada activists are taking a stern decision to remove all Tamil films screening in Karnataka.

This is another round of big controversy. Tamil films market in Karnataka is very huge. All top stars of Tamil films are doing extremely good in Karnataka market.
