Well,
Bahubali
2
is
all
geared
up
to
hit
screens
on
28th
April
worldwide
and
fans
are
equally
pumped
up
to
grab
their
first
set
of
tickets
to
watch
the
magnum
opus
and
to
find
out
answer
to
the
most
sought
after
question,
"Why
Katappa
Killed
Bahubali"
?
However,
the
scenario
seems
to
be
different
in
Karnataka
as
some
activists
from
certain
social
outfits
and
members
of
social
media
have
raised
objection
for
the
movie's
release
in
Karnataka.
The
reason
for
the
protest
against
the
movie
is
none
other
than
Katappa.
No,
it's
not
Katappa,
the
character
but
instead
Satyaraj,
the
actor
who
has
portrayed
Katappa
character.
The
incident
in
question
happened
close
to
a
decade
ago.
During
the
time
of
Hogenakkal
protest,
actor
Satyaraj
is
said
to
have
allegedly
made
some
remarks
against
the
Kanadigas
and
a
social
activist,
Vatal
Nagaraj.
Though
the
incident
happened
nearly
a
decade
ago,
and
that
Satyaraj
had
acted
in
over
a
dozen
of
movies
which
were
released
in
Bangalore,
including
the
first
part
of
Bahubali,
the
protesters
in
Karnataka
were
not
much
aware
of
the
62-year
old
actor's
movies.
With
Bahubali
raising
the
fame
of
Satyaraj
in
the
form
of
Katappa,
the
social
outfits
in
the
state
want
an
open
apology
from
Satyaraj
to
Kannadigas
and
Vatal
Nagaraj.
This
protest
might
result
in
some
initial
hiccups
for
the
Bahubali
2
for
its
release
in
Karnataka
as
the
distributors
and
film
producers
are
confident
that
the
movie
would
make
a
cool
business
of
somewhere
between
40-50
Cr
share
in
the
Karnataka
circuit
itself.
40-50Cr
distributor
is
quite
an
amount
and
it
is
sure
that
neither
the
makers
nor
the
distributors
would
take
any
chances
with
the
movie's
prospects
in
Karnataka.
So,
will
the
producers
or
distributors
of
the
movie
hold
amicable
talks
with
the
Rakshana
Vedike
and
other
social
outfits
who
are
protesting
against
the
movie
seeking
Satyaraj's
apology
or
will
they
request
the
Amaidhi
Padai
actor
to
tender
a
soft
apology
and
clear
the
air
in
a
harmonious
manner?
Only
time
needs
to
tell
and
the
time
is
not
too
far.
All
eyes
are
set
on
April
28,
which
is
the
release
day
of
the
movie.
