If Kannada artists have to voice out support for Kaveri, Kannada films have to do well in the box office: Darshan

Sandalwood star Darshan made his presence felt in the Kaveri agitation that is taking place in Karnataka. He addressed a gathering in an event organised by the Ganga Sene and the Karnataka State Farmers Association in the Bandur village in Karnataka. Darshan responded to the general criticism that Kannada actors do not participate in protests which are in the interest of those in the state. 

“There was a Tamil film which dealers procured for Rs 6 crore. That film made a collection of Rs 37 crore at the box office. Is it just the Tamilians who saw the film? Now would any of them join the agitation? Why don’t you show a similar support to Kannada films? If Kannada artists have to voice out support for Kaveri, Kannada films have to do well in the box office. It’s always Darshan, Sudeep, Shiva Rajkumar and Yash who are the stars that are questioned. Why can’t you ask them these questions?” he asked. 

Even as calls for Bengaluru Bandh get more support, actor Darshan has hit out at those producers who have not taken part in the agitation.

He wondered why only actors like Yash, Shivarajkumar, among others take part and no producers are questioned. #Cauvery#CauveryWater… pic.twitter.com/ACS9PhsTFO

Actor Shiva Rajkumar released a video stating his comments on the Kaveri protests. He stated that both the state governments must keep in mind that the farmers of Karnataka are in distress over the drought that has prevailed and that any solution must keep this factor in mind.
