Bengaluru: Pro Kannada organisations have withdrawn the Bengaluru Bandh called on April 28 when the movie ‘Baahubali 2’ is scheduled to be released in Karnataka and around the globe. The bandh was called off following Tamil actor Sathyaraj unconditionally regretted for his insulting remarks on Kannadigas in-connection with Cauvery water issue nearly 9 year ago.  

Bengaluru Bandh was called to restrict the cinema threatres in Karnataka from releasing the movie Baahubali 2 in which the actor Sathyaraj played the role of Kattappa. Speaking to the media reporters here in the state capital on Saturday,  Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha leader Vatal Nagaraj said, “Bengaluru Bandh has been called off as Sathyaraj regretted for his controversial statement on Kannadigas before the public. We, the Kannadigas warn him not to make such statements hurting the feelings of Kannadigas in the future”. Earlier, the pro Kannada organisations were demanded unconditional apology from the Tamil actor for his derogatory remarks.
