Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar expressed disappointment over the low turnout of the Kannada film industry at the inauguration of the 16th Bengaluru International Film Festival.

In this program, he addressed the members of the Kannada film industry with strong words. He said, “Moving forward, I want the members of the film Chamber and Academy to take it either as a warning or request. It is not my program; it is your program. Bhima jewelery, sponsors, are sitting there. Is only 20 of the 20 people need this cinema?”

Shivkumar also released a strict comment, stating, “If the government does not allow shooting, they cannot make a film. They cannot move forward with shooting. I also know where to tighten the nuts and bolts, please understand.”

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was also present at the event. He announced that the government of Karnataka would establish a world -class film city in Mysuru, with 150 acres of land already allotted for the project.

“Karnataka is a land of immense occasions. To further strengthen our film industry, we are developing a state -of -the -art film city in Mysuru. I hope this feature will encourage the production of world -class films that originally mixes human values ​​with advanced technology,” he said.

He also warned to promote superstitions and unconstitutional values ​​in films, “Cinema should be a tool for enlightenment, not for regression.”
