Well known pro-Kannada leader Vatal Nagaraj has urged the Kannada film industry to come united strongly against the dubbing culture in Karnataka. Vattal called for the film industry bundh on 27th and requested everyone to participate.
Vatal on Saturday afternoon had called a meeting at the Woodlands Hotel and urged that the dubbing culture must be kept outside Karnataka.
'In Karnataka the Kannada is limited to only 20% while the other language are dominating Kannada. Even if we go to jail, we must not allow dubbing in Karnataka. We will fight against those who have gutts to screen dubbed films in Karnataka. The dubbing issue has been started again because of some multi-national companies and the film industry personalities should come united to fight against this. The TV and film industry should be saved and we will come for support' said Vatal in his speech.
Dr Jayamala in her speech said, 'Vatal has been supporting the Kannada film industry always and again he his here to support us. When Sanjay Khan was doing 'Sword Of Tippu Sultan', Vatal came to the support of Kannada people by protesting. Now the dubbing culture is again in news and who ever is thinking of dubbing other language films to Kannada must think twice this time' said Dr Jayamala.
Bhavana also spoke on the occasion. 'We are all here to fight against dubbing. Till now we have fought for our industry. Last time when we we met at the Atria Hotel, it was being said that the battle will be fought legally. But till now, I don't know what has happened in this case nor do I have any details' said Bhavana.
