Baahubali 2 will be allowed to screen in Karnataka only if actor Sathyaraj, who plays the role of Kattappa in the film, apologises for a statement he made nine years ago on the Cauvery water dispute, pro-Kannada organisations have threatened.

The actor, who had supported Tamil farmers demanding Cauvery water at a demonstration in 2008, has been given eight days to apologise for his statements to ensure that the April 28 release goes smoothly in the State. The activists have also threatened to shut down the State capital on April 28 as a mark of protest.

Led by veteran Kannada activist and former MLA Vatal Nagaraj, dozens of like-minded organisations staged a protest in the city on Thursday and issued a statement saying allowing the film to run without an apology from Sathyaraj would be a big blow to the self respect of Kannadigas. Some activists staged a demonstration outside the Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce demanding a ban on all Tamil films.
