Kannada Activist Vatal Nagaraj has let out a statement saying "We won't allow the release of Rajini and Kamal films in Karnataka". Speaking to the press during the dispute at the TN-Karnataka Border at Athipally, Nagaraj had let out the statement.
It must be noted that Nagaraj had also expressed his disinterest over films like Kabali being promoted in Karnataka, since it is a non-Kannada film.
