Studio owned by K'taka Minister plans movie on Vokkaliga chieftains who allegedly 'killed' Tipu
Bengaluru, Mar 17: A film studio owned by film producer-turned-politician and Horticulture Minister Munirathna is said to be contemplating making a movie on Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda, the Vokkaliga chieftains, who according to a section of people and some ruling BJP leaders, allegedly killed erstwhile Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan.
Munirathna's studio 'Vrushabhadri Productions' has applied with the Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce to register the movie title Uri Gowda Nanje Gowda', film industry sources said.
The move assumes significance ahead of Assembly polls in Karnataka, due by May.
A section of people in the old Mysuru belt claims that Tipu did not die fighting the British, but was killed by the two Vokkaliga chieftains, which has been contested by some historians.
While, Congress and JD(S) leaders have maintained that Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda did not even exist, and they might just be a fictional characters, the BJP, which is trying to make inroads into the Vokkaliga dominated 'Old Mysuru' region ahead of polls, seems to be using the duo as their latest mascots.
BJP is also using them to target Tipu Sultan, and to accuse the Congress and JD(S) of indulging in appeasement politics, by celebrating the Muslim ruler.
Charging the BJP with 'misleading' Vokkaligas, by using fictional characters and saying they killed Tipu Sultan, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy in a series of tweets has alleged that attempts are on to malign the community.
This is part of a "hidden agenda" by the BJP to "insult and politically end" Vokkaligas, through a smear campaign, he said.
Vokkaligas constitute the major vote base of the JD(S).
However, senior BJP leader and Union Minister of State (MoS) Shobha Karandlaje said that Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda were real, and there were historical references about them.
Claiming that the names of Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda are there in plays and ballads, she said, they fought Tipu to safeguard the family of Mysuru Maharajas and to protect the state."Why are Congress and JD(S) worried?"

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.
