My intention was never to diminish Kannada in any way, says veteran actor
WITH just days left for Tamil film Thug Life to hit the screens nationwide, a few cinema theatres in Bengaluru are learnt to be moving the Karnataka High Court, seeking protection to ensure the film's safe and uninterrupted release on its scheduled date, June 5.
In a writ petition already filed by Raajkamal Films International (WP No. 15589/2025), theatres are planning to implead and request police protection amid growing threats from Kannada groups opposing the film's screening. Theatres cite intimidation tactics, including threats of violence and property damage, should they proceed with the release.
