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

13 lakh litres of 'Rail Neer' supplied to train passengers daily: Government
New Delhi (PTI): Approximately 13 lakh litres of packaged drinking water -- 'Rail Neer' -- are being supplied to train passengers across the railway network daily, the government informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Wednesday.
Apprising the Lower House about the Indian Railways' endeavour to provide safe and potable drinking water facilities at all stations, the government also provided zone-wise details of the water vending machines (WVMs) installed there.
"To ensure the quality of drinking water being made available at the railway stations, instructions exist for periodical checking and required corrective action to be taken.
"Regular inspection and maintenance of drinking water facilities is carried out and complaints are attended to promptly," Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while responding to a question raised by BJP MP Anup Sanjay Dhotre seeking to know the supply of drinking water at railway stations across the country
"Complaints regarding deficiency in services, including water supply, are received through various channels such as public complaints, web portals, social media, etc. These complaints are received at various levels, including the Railway Board, zonal railways, division office, etc.," Vaishnaw said.
"The complaints so received are forwarded to the concerned wings of Railways and necessary action is taken to check and address them. As receipt of such complaints and action taken thereon is a continuous and dynamic process, a centralised compendium of these is not maintained," he added.
Providing zone-wise details of water vending machines, the minister said 954 such machines have been installed across railway stations.
"The Indian Railways also provides safe and affordable packaged drinking water bottles -- Rail Neer -- approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in trains and at stations," Vaishnaw said.
"Approximately, 13 lakh litres of Rail Neer are being supplied per day to the travelling passengers in trains and at stations across the Indian Railways network," he added.
