Kannada film producers association President Munirathna seems to be unruffled  over the criticism  of the association to ban  actress Nikitha for  three years.  “We are not immature to take a decision which can have far reaching  consequences.  We have documents and evidences to prove that the decision is just. Wait for just fifteen days, you will certainly realize that our  decision was based on  evidences which include documentary and circumstantial’   says  Munirathna defending the decision which was taken without  giving an opportunity for Nikitha to be heard by producers association.

‘I knew very well that the decision will invite lot of criticism, but the way the producers gave instances of how the actresses coming from Mumbai were creating problems for the shooting strengthened our resolve to  take a stringent action.  We want them to work in the sets and then move out.  We don’t want them to involve in any other activity’  This is the message  that  we are  implying from this decision’ said  Munirathna.

Soorappa Babu, the Secretary of the Kannada film producers association says that the opposition to the Kannada film producers association has come from a section of the people who have some vested interests in protecting Nikitha.   But the association is sure to respect the views of  people of the calibre of  Girish Kasaravalli and  a few others, but we are sure that we will be vindicated after  a few day
