Why netizens in Karnataka are asking people to boycott 'RRR'

Ahead of the release of SS Rajamouli's multi-starrer RRR with Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, netizens from Karnataka have been trending #BoycottRRRinKarnataka on Twitter. They are upset that advance booking is not available for Kannada dubbed version of the movie.

The movie will be releasing in five languages Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi.

Many took to Twitter to post screenshots of ticket booking portals to show that only Telugu version of the movie is available for booking. They claimed that the makers of the movie are giving less preference to Kannada as there is less number of shows for the Kannada version of the movie.

One of the Twitter users pointed out that the makers chose to do this despite a request from Kannada superstar Shivrajkumar that there should be as many Kannada shows as possible for the movie.
