'Chithha' promotions: Siddharth forced to leave event midway as pro-Kannada protestors create ruckus

'Chithha' promotions: Siddharth forced to leave event midway as pro-Kannada protestors create ruckus

Actor Siddharth, who was in Bengaluru to promote his forthcoming film 'Chithha', was forced to leave a press conference in the city by members of the pro-Kannada group.

A few members of the group entered the venue as Siddharth interacted with the media and asked the organisers to stop the event in support of the ongoing Cauvery protest.

“We are fighting here and the Cauvery water is going to Tamil Nadu. And he is promoting the film, do you guys want this?,” they said.

When Siddharth continued to interact with the media in Kannada, ignoring them, one of the protestors told the actor, 'We have not come to order. We have come to request. Please stop this.'

After a while, the actor thanked the media members as he walked out of the press conference.

For the unversed, several pro-Kannada organisations have called for a Karnataka bandh in protest against releasing Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.

The protesters say that water is being released to Tamil Nadu even as the southwest monsoon draws to a close and storage levels are very low in the Cauvery basin reservoirs in Karnataka.

Tamil film 'Chithha' is directed by SU Arun Kumar. The film, which released in theatres on September 28, is produced by Siddharth himself under his banner Etaki Entertainment.
