Days after its release on March 17, the late actor Puneeth Rajkumar’s last film James is allegedly being removed from several theatres across the State to accommodate Hindi film The Kashmir Files and upcoming Telugu film RRR.
James was among the fastest to join the ₹100-crore club, running to packed houses.
Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah, who met film producer Kishore Pathikonda on Monday night, alleged that the BJP’s elected representatives and workers were pressurising theatres to remove James to accommodate The Kashmir Files.
