Summary:
Bengaluru, Sep 16 (PTI) A pro-Kannada organisation has cautioned against screening of a Marathi movie ‘Boys-’3 in Karnataka, alleging that the film would fan the border dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka.
In a statement, Kannada Chalavali (Vatal Paksha) alleged that the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) has planned to screen ‘Boys-3’.
“The mischief over border dispute is once again crossing limits in Belagavi.
The MES, which wants to rake up the border row, wants to show the border dispute-related Marathi movie ‘Boys-3’ in Karnataka.
The Kannada Chalavali (Vatal Paksha) will not allow screening of the movie in the State,” the outfit warned.
The organisation said it is ready to launch a mega protest if the film is screened anywhere in Karnataka and appealed to the Belagavi police commissioner to not encourage such a movie for the sake of protecting border and linguistic interests of Karnataka.
