HC seeks reply from Thug Life producers

Bengaluru, June 13 (UNI) The Karnataka High Court on Friday directed the producers of the Kamal Haasan-starrer film Thug Life to file their objections to an application filed by Kannada Sahitya Parishattu seeking to intervene in the matter relating to the ban on the film’s release in the state.
The bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna issued the directive while hearing a writ petition filed by Raajkamal Films International, the producer of the film, challenging the ban imposed on its release in Karnataka following Haasan's controversial remark about the Kannada language during the film’s audio launch.
The court recorded that the Kannada Sahitya Parishattu had filed an impleading application and the petitioner’s counsel sought a week’s time to respond. The matter has been posted for further hearing on June 20. The interim arrangement restraining the film’s release in the state will remain in force until then.
