Tamil film `Kaveri' banned in Malaysia

The effect of ongoing water war between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu has resulted in various forms. Recently released Kannada film H2O featuring Upendra, Prabhudeva and Priyankahas was dubbed to Tamil and named as Kaveri. This film was released on last Friday in Chennai. The simultaneous release of Kaveri in Malaysia has suffered the thumb down. Malaysian authorities does not allow communal intolerance and hence denied the exhibition permission of Tamil film Kaveri in Malaysia.

The decision by the Malaysian authorities to ban the release of the movie has shown the propensity of the water wars to spill in to alien lands. Kannada version of the same film had to face a lot of trouble when it was released in Karnataka couple months back and was reedited due to protest.
