The Karnataka High Court Tuesday directed the state government to provide necessary security for peaceful release of Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Kaala’ film, which pro-Kannada outfits had threatened to stall over the actor’s reported remarks on the Cauvery row.
Justice G Narendra issued the direction on the basis of a Supreme Court order, which had stayed ban orders imposed on the release of film ‘Padmaavat’ by four states, early this year.
The Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce, KFCC had on the 29th of last month decided not to allow screening of ‘Kaala’, due for release on coming Thursday.
The court was hearing a petition by film’s producer, who sought directions to the Karnataka government and the KFCC for smooth release of the film.
