It
was
recently
announced
that
Bollywood
celebrities
Kangana
Ranaut,
Karan
Johar,
Adnan
Sami,
and
Ekta
Kapoor
have
been
conferred
with
the
Padma
Shri
award.
However,
actress
Kangana
Ranaut
being
awarded
the
State
honour
has
not
gone
down
well
with
the
fans
of
Century
Star
Shivarajkumar.
They
are
of
the
opinion
that
the
senior
superstar
of
Sandalwood
deserved
the
award
before
Kangana
as
he
has
been
a
part
of
the
movie
industry
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
They
have
also
accused
the
government
of
discrimination
against
the
Kannada
film
industry.
A
fan
club
called
Dr.
Shivarajkumar
Yuva
Sene
group
is
furious
with
the
Padma
Shri
snub
for
the
lifetime
contribution
of
an
artist
like
Shivarajkumar.
They
even
requested
the
fans
of
all
the
Kannada
actors
to
band
together
and
raise
their
voice
against
the
step-motherly
treatment
meted
out
to
southern
actors.
A
fan
tweeted
and
reminded
everyone
that
Shivarajkumar
has
acted
for
more
than
35
years
and
in
over
120
movies
whereas
Bollywood
actress
Kangana
has
a
filmography
of
around
30
odd
films.
He
questioned
and
wondered
on
what
basis
was
Shivanna
deprived
of
the
Padma
honour.
In
other
related
news,
director
Simple
Suni
also
took
to
social
media
to
express
his
displeasure
over
not
giving
the
award
to
veteran
actor
Anant
Nag
who
has
been
part
of
the
industry
for
many
debates.
The
voices
of
dissent
are
only
growing
by
the
hour.
Fans
from
all
over
the
state
have
gone
online
to
call
out
the
Central
government
whist
also
requesting
them
to
end
such
discrimination.
They
want
all
artists
irrespective
of
language
and
medium
to
be
treated
equally.
They
also
hope
to
see
Shivarajkumar
and
other
talented
Kannada
film
actors
being
bestowed
with
the
prestigious
state
honour
next
year.
