Prior to the release of the magnum opus Baahubali-The Conclusion the only controversy that engulfed it was from the state of Karnataka. This had to do with the comments made by Satire Star Sathyaraj on Kannadigas during the Cauvery water issue.
Of course, he apologized and things came back to normal. However, it appears that the Kannada industry is still angry with the movie. Sandalwood has come up with a new hashtag on social media stating ‘Say No To Baahubali’ and this involves noted directors.
Apparently, the filmmakers there feel Baahubali has wiped out the chance for Kannada movies to make money. While it is not sure how logical and reasonable this demand is, they do have a right to come up with something like this. The decision will remain as always in public hands.
