The Darshan affair of Kannada film Industry is getting murkier.
What is purely a personal affair has been brought into the open unnecessarily.
The Karnataka Film Producers Association (KFPA), has no business to interfere in the personal lives of people, let alone ban an artist.
The concept of banning an artiste is contrary to Right to Work and is not Constitutionally valid.
These strong-arm tactics must stop what ever be the issue.
The Association is not a Law enforcing Authority.
Now the question of Vijayalakshmi retracting her statement
It is curious to note that major chunk of the actor‘s properties are in the name of Vikayalakshmi and the actor’s parent live separately.
And this is not the first time she has brought the quarrel in public.
Media has been paying too much attention on this issue.
Does any one see any design?
If one has an affair, it is his business.
If the wife can not correct him or live with him why not go in for a divorce?
The Producers Association has come with egg on its face.
They have been taking funny and arbitrary decisions which bids ill for the Karnataka Film Industry.
They ban dubbing other language films in Kannada, force theaters and malls to screen Kannada Films for a minimum period.
They issue red cards for actors at the drop of a hat.
They should know Film is business and not a place for sentiments.
It is better for them to know marketing rather than take silly measures which will affect the Sandalwood Film Industry in the long run.
(I remember some joker went on TV when there was some tamasha cricket match featuring Film Stars ( around IPL 2011 time) stating that the Film Producers encourage these games to raise funds to produce more Kannada films and the actors will go and play in villages of Karnataka.!)
Story line.
Actor had family feud with his wife Vijayalakshmi whom he beat blue to the extent that she had to be hospitalized;she had initially lodged a complaint with the police in Bangalore that he attempted to murder her on more than one occasion;she retracted her statement and withdrew her complaint couple of days later;police still fight the case in the court;Karnataka Film Producer‘s Association slapped a ban on the actress Nikita Thukral from acting in Kannada Films.
Film personalities keep quiet on the ban.
First family of Kannada films Rajkumar Family condemns this autocratic behavior to the extent of considering floating a parallel Producers’ Forum.
Chastened the Producers’ Association revokes the ban by a letter dripping with sarcasm, addressed to Nikita Thukral.
In a below-the-belt response, Muniratna on Thursday read out contents of the letter that announced the lifting the ban on her.
‘The letter said, “It is our foolishness to ban a Kannada actress with good tradition, culture, respectful, saint, one with all virtues, without a black spot, with heart like milk, polyglot artiste. We have realised that it was our mistake to ban such a good lady. The reason for taking back the ban is that many intellectuals have said the ban was wrong.” The letter also says that Parvathamma was like a mother who had brought them back on the right track. Muniratna also announced a ban on the word ‘ban’ from the Kannada film industry though it was clear that the producers association has no powers to impose such a ban.’
