Sandalwood's
famous
producer
Gandugali
K
Manju
aka
Kobri
Manju
has
demanded
apology
from
the
poet
and
intellectual
GK
Govind
Rao
for
his
contradictory
statement
on
Kannada
cinema.
It
is
reported
that
GK
Govind
Rao
has
called
the
films
that
are
made
in
Gandhinagar
are
wretched
(daridra).
Govind
Rao
made
the
statement
in
the
event,
which
was
organised
by
Kannada
and
culture
department.
He
said
that
the
movies
made
in
Gandhinagara
has
no
value
all
those
movies
are
wretched.
Govind
Rao's
statement
on
Kannada
films
has
enraged
K
Manju.
He
said
that
this
will
not
bring
glory
to
someone
who
calls
themselves
as
intellectuals.
Manju,
who
is
angry
with
the
allegations
said,
"He
may
be
a
theatre
person
and
call
himself
intellectual,
but
how
can
he
use
such
words
about
films?
Does
he
mean
that
all
films
are
useless?
If
he
thinks
there
is
a
great
novel
that
can
be
made
into
film,
let
him
point
out.
I
will
start
today."
Manju
has
also
claimed
that
one
cannot
talk
so
lightly
about
the
industry
that
is
a
livelihood
for
thousands
of
people.
"But
talking
bad
about
an
industry
that
feeds
thousands
of
people
is
uncalled
for.
It
does
not
bring
glory
to
some
called
an
intellectual
if
he
talks
so
lightly.
I
condemn
his
words
and
demand
an
unconditional
apology
and
withdraw
his
statement," he
added.
