'Baahubali 2' issue : Actor Sathyaraj apologises for anti-Kannadiga comments

Mumbai: 'Baahubali' actor Sathyaraj today expressed 'wholehearted regret' over his Cauvery dispute remarks, while appealing for the smooth release of the second part of the SS Rajamouli-directed film in Karnataka next week.

The actor, who plays the role of Kattappa in the movie, clarified that he was not against Kannada people.

This statement comes following the demands of an apology from Sathyaraj by pro-Kannada outfits, who had threatened to stall the release of the film in the state.

In a video released to the media, Sathyaraj read out a statement, saying he had made the remarks nine years ago at a protest held by the Tamil film industry against the 'attack' on Tamils in Karnataka over the Cauvery dispute.
