Baahubali 2 Karnataka release: Madhavan, Nikhil, Arya, Nani join Rajamouli to pacify Kannadigas

Tamil and Telugu celebs including Madhavan, Nikhil Siddhartha, Arya, Nani, Allu Sirish, Lakshmi Manchu have requested Kannadigas to allow the release of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 in Karnataka. The director had earlier made an emotional appeal to Karnataka people last day.

Some Kannada groups have threatened to stall the release of Baahubali in Karnataka if actor Sathyaraj fails to tender an apology for a speech he made against Kannadigas 9 years ago. Director SS Rajamouli on Thursday urged Kannadigas not to punish his team over the comments of Sathyaraj- who is just an actor in the movie- in a video posted on Twitter.
