While Vijay Devarakonda’s Telugu film Dear Comrade has been criticised for the unfair release in Karnataka, Yash’s KGF is being put on a pedestal for being fair to Telugu audiences in Andhra Pradesh
Vijay Devarakonda’s Telugu film Dear Comrade hit theatres today. The movie has been shot in four languages simultaneously. Excited, the actor took to Twitter this morning to inform his followers regarding the release.
But all is not well with the movie as people from different parts of Karnataka have taken to social media platforms to raise complaints regarding the fact that the number of Telugu shows is incomparable to the number of Kannada shows in the state.
Speaking about Telugu imposition, Abhi Nandan, a person in Karnataka tweeted, “Davanagere has 3 shows Telugu and 1 Kannada! What pathetic business stratdgy is this? Distributors aren't bothered about more profits? Why haven't they thought abt providing content in Kannada in a city like Davanagere?Or is it by plan? #BoycottDearComrade #StopTeluguImposition (sic).”

#StopTeluguImposition began trending on Twitter since then and people have been retweeting it and giving their views on the same as well.
Why did you showoff so much about Kannada version when it has only 8 to 10 shows? More than 250+ shows for Telugu!!! Yeah.. The joke is on us for believing you!!

He also mentioned in another tweet that Yash’s Kannada film KGF was released in Andhra Pradesh with a really high number of Telugu shows when compared to Kannada shows. He tweeted, “This is how KGF was released in Andhra unlike 8 for Kannada versus 290 in Telugu for #DearComrade in Karnataka tomorrow. #StopTeluguImposition.”
