Finally, Katappa apologises!

Seeking to put a lid over the controversy surrounding the release of ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ in Karnataka, actor Sathyaraj apologised for the comments he made on the Cauvery issue, nine years ago. “I am not against Karnataka or Kannadigas.

If my comments have upset the Kannada people, then I apologise for the same,” said Sathyaraj and added that his personal assistant Shekhar who had been with him for the last 35 years was a Kannadiga. However, Sathyaraj made it clear that he would continue to fight for the rights of the Tamil people.

He also made an appeal to the Tamil people to understand the context in which he had to apologise. In the same vein, Sathyaraj made it clear that any director or producer who intended to cast him in their films should be prepared for such eventualities.
