The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stall the release of Rajinikanth starrer “Kaala” which is scheduled to hit the screens tomorrow. A vacation bench comprising Justices A K Goel and Ashok Bhushan refused to entertain a plea by K S Rajashekaran, who sought an injunction against release of the movie.
Everybody is waiting for the film to be released: SC
“You want an injunction against the release of the movie. Everybody is waiting for the film to be released,” the bench told the council appearing for the petitioner. The Petitioner has claimed that his copyright –projected work related to story scenes and songs were used by the producer of the movie without his prior permission.
Appeal made by Superstar Rajinikanth for his Kannada brothers:
The actor-turned-politician whose new movie Kaala is facing trouble by the Pro-Kannada groups because of the statement made by him over Cauvery issues. He made an appeal from the Karnataka Chief minister H D Kumarswamy to provide security at the theaters for those who wished to screen the film as many Pro-Kannada organizations had threatened to vandalise theaters if they screened the film.
Rajnikanth’s Kaala again in trouble
In an attempt to reach out to the protesters, the Tamil superstar made an appeal to the state film chambers in Kannada: “To our Kannada brothers, I appeal to you, I have done no wrong. So for those who want to watch the film please do not disrupt it. I humbly appeal to you to not trouble the film goers.”
Monday, fellow actor and now politician Kamal Haasan met Kumaraswamy to discuss the Cauvery water distribution issue and found himself at the receiving end of much criticism for not bringing up the matter of Rajinikanth’s film not being released in the state. Now everyone is waiting for the film to hit the screen tomorrow.
