A few recordings were posted on the web. When we began asking, we discovered that whatever remarks Sathyaraj made… this was nine years prior. What’s more, from that point onward, around 30 movies of his were discharged in Karnataka. Baahubali 1 discharged there also. Nobody had issues with that. What’s more, all of a sudden, raking up the issue as of right now is wrong. He (Sathyaraj) is not the chief of the film. He is not the essayist or maker or the saint. He is only a supporting on-screen character. He acted in the film and took his compensation and left. So whatever individuals do against Baahubali 2 won’t influence him in any way. It is pitiful. I think individuals will comprehend the issue and it will be settled.”
