WATCH: Baahubali 2 may not release in Karnataka after Sathyaraj's controversial speech

With just two weeks left for the grand release of Baahubali: The Conclusion, SS Rajamouli's film has once again landed itself in a fresh controversy.

According to reports, over 2000 pro-Kannada groups led by Vatal Nagaraj are threatening the release of Baahubali 2 following actor Sathyaraj's controversial speech during the Cauvery row. For the same, the group has demanded Sathyaraj to apologise to Kannadigas before the release of the film.

Speaking about the issue, Vatal Nagaraj said, "We will not allow any theatre in Karnataka to screen Bahubali. We are not against the film, but against Sathyaraj who plays the character of Katappa in Bahubali."

Several groups, including the President of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and Dr Rajkumar Fans Association, have showed their support to Nagaraj.
