The case of beating to death of a young man named Renuka Swamy has become a cause of great controversy in the Kannada film industry. The first accused is Kannada film actress Pavithra Gowda. The second accused is Kannada superstar Darshan. Just like the Dileep Controversy happened in Kerala in the past, the Kannada Film Industry is having this controversy in a similar way.
From the moment they came to know that Dileep was accused in the case of assaulting the actress, many people came out denying Dileep. There were many people who said that they will not collaborate with Dileep anymore and will not watch his films. Both the film industry and the audience were abandoning Dileep. But then we saw that slowly each one was changing the plate. Many people came forward saying that Dileep would not do that, that Dileep is innocent.
Now we are seeing a similar thing in the Kannada film industry. When Darshan was involved in the case, many people came to deny the superstar. But now one by one people are coming to support and praise the actor. Actress Sumanatha says that Darshan is accused of a serious crime but the actor will not do anything like that and the actor is not that kind of person and Darshan is a good person who helps others.
Sumalatha is an actress who is loved by Malayalees with the movie Thuvanathumbikal. Apart from cinema, they are also very active in politics. The actor has informed about this in a press release. The actor clarifies that he and his family have a long-term relationship with Darshan. Sumatha says that Darshan is like a son to her. The actor says in the press release that he has known the actor for the last 25 years and therefore it is difficult to believe the allegations made in the case. Darshan was active in their campaign while contesting the Chumalatha elections. Therefore, the silence of the actress at the time of Darshan’s arrest was widely discussed.
