Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
(KFCC)
recently
came
down
heavily
on
Hrithik
Roshan-Barbara
Mori
starrer
Kites
and
banned
its
release
on
the
first
day
after
the
distributors
tried
to
release
it
in
more
than
24
theatres
in
the
state.
This
time,
it's
Mani
Ratnam's
film
Raavan,
which
is
going
to
suffer
because
of
the
restriction.
The
Big
Cinemas
has
requested
the
KFCC
to
let
Raavan
release
in
Karnataka
as
two
films,
as
it
is
a
bi-lingual
film
being
made
in
Tamil
as
Raavanan.
It
has
asked
to
relax
the
restriction
policy.
However,
Vasant
Kumar
Patil,
president
of
KFCC,
said
that
Raavan
will
be
released
in
only
24
theatres
in
the
state.
The
KFCC
has
restricted
the
release
of
non-Kannada
films
to
24
theatres
in
the
state
with
an
aim
to
protect
the
Kannada
film
industry.
So,
Raavan,
starring
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Vikram
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
will
be
released
in
limited
theatres.
