#BoycottRRRinKarnataka trends on Twitter as Kannada version gets less preference in state

Ahead of RRR's grand release, netizens in Karnataka have been trending #BoycottRRRinKarnataka on Twitter. They blamed the makers of RRR for not allotting many shows for the Kannada version of the film.

SS Rajamouli's mega-budget film, RRR, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, is just two days away from release. Ahead of the film's release on March 25, the hashtag #BoycottRRRinKarnataka has been trending on Twitter for several hours now. Netizens hailing from Karnataka are extremely unhappy with SS Rajamouli and the team of RRR for giving less preference to the Kannada version of the film. Throughout Karnataka, less number of shows have been allotted to the Kannada version of RRR.

Jr NTR and Ram Charan's RRR is all set for a grand release on March 25 in five languages. The film will release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. The film had to undergo multiple delays due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Since yesterday (March 22), netizens have been trending #BoycottRRRinKarnataka on Twitter. The reason behind the anger of the people is that the Kannada dubbed version of RRR is not releasing widely in Karnataka. However, the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions of RRR have been alloted more screens comparatively.

Some of the fans demanded the team to allot more screens for the Kannada version of RRR as it would reach rural Karnataka.
