Kannada's
ace
producer
turned
politician
HD
Kumaraswamy
is
upset
with
National
Award
winning
Sandalwood's
filmmaker
P
Sheshadri
and
his
recent
offering
December
1.
The
ex-chief
minister
has
expressed
his
unhappiness
for
showing
his
famous
village
stay
program
(grama
vastavya)
in
the
negative
way
in
December
1,
which
won
the
National
Award.
December
1
deals
with
the
story
of
a
chief-minister
staying
in
the
house
of
HIV
affected
couple
in
a
village.
The
movie
shows
the
couple
getting
alienated
from
society,
as
their
AIDS
status
will
become
a
big
news
in
the
village
after
Chief
Minister's
visit
to
their
home.
It
is
reported
that
Kumaraswamy
was
also
staying
in
HIV
affected
couples
hut
during
his
term
as
Chief
Minister
in
2007.
Criticising
the
National
Award
winning
movie
and
filmmaker,
HD
Kumaraswamy
said,
"Few
people
will
only
make
movie
for
the
sake
of
awards.
P
Sheshadri's
direction
in
the
film
is
far
away
from
the
truth.
I
will
challenge
him
to
prove
my
village
stay
has
caused
the
problem
to
anyone.
Then
I
would
visit
the
same
village
again
and
help
the
affected
people." He
also
added
that
he
will
taking
legal
action
against
Sheshadri
for
portraying
village
stay
program
in
a
wrong
way.

Do
It

for
HD

allegations,
director
P
Sheshadri

followed
the
same."
