Tamil film screenings halted across Karnataka amid Cauvery water protests

Written by AI, News Sources from Times of India, Hindustan Times31 Jul 20261 min read

Tamil film screenings have been stopped across Karnataka until further notice after protests erupted over the Cauvery water-sharing dispute. The Karnataka Film Exhibitors Association extended the suspension to all theatres in the state. Farmers and activists forced theatre owners to stop showing Tamil movies.

Pro-Kannada groups have announced a statewide bandh for August 13 against the release of water to Tamil Nadu. The protests are against a direction to release 3,500 cusecs of water daily for 15 days. Farmers and Kannada outfits have staged demonstrations over the issue.

Separately, Karnataka minister Shivakumar postponed a meeting with actor Vijay amid the protests. The meeting was linked to Vijay's Tamil film 'Jana Nayagan', whose screenings have been disrupted.
