Yash's KGF release in legal trouble; Stay order not to release movie till Jan 7
Bengaluru, Dec 20: The 10th City Sessions Court (City Civil) on Thursday gave a stay order against releasing the movie ‘KGF’ in various languages including Kannada.
The movie ‘KGF’ is based on the life story of a rowdy Thangam. But long ago, another person called Venkatesh had got rights to make a movie based on Thangam’s life story. Now, reviewing the application of Venkatesh, the court has given interim stay order till January 7.
It is said that Venkatesh has got the right to do a movie on Kolar-based rowdy sheeter Thangam. Venkatesh has got the permission from the family members of Thangam. But the team of KGF has not took any permission to make the movie, applicant alleged.
The film ‘KGF’ which was supposed to release on December 21, is facing another problem. It is said that another person Lohith moved the court seeking direction to change the title of the movie ‘KGF’.
Film to be released
‘The applicant has moved the court without watching our movie. We have not received any notice from the court officially. Normally, fans are confused. Film rights were distributed to all distributors. The KGF movie will be released in over 2000 theatres across the globe’.
- Vijay Kiragandur, KGF Film Producer

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
