| In response to the Kannada Film Exhibitors Federation's
(KEFF) request for police protection, the director general of police
has reportedly assured the organisation that nobody could force them
to release the film and that they would prevent the film fraternity
and the crowd from gate-crashing.
KFPA president Basant Kumar Patil is quoted in media reports as
saying, "How can they (theatres) not release the movie when
the rest of the state is. We will ensure that it is released."
Meanwhile, actor politician Ambarish who was brought in to mediate
and sort the issue is meeting all the three directly effected parties
- KFPA, exhibitors and distributors on 17 September.
