Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana trailer promises quirky crime comedy starring Diganth
Kannada actor Diganth Manchale is set to return to the big screen with 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana', a dark comedy helmed by Samarth B Kadkol. The film will release in theatres on June 13. Alongside Diganth, the ensemble cast includes Dhanu Harsha, Nidhi Subbaiah, Sourav Lokesh and Krishna Hebbale, with cameo appearances by Radhika Narayan and Nirup Bhandari.Ahead of the release, the makers unveiled the film's trailer, which offers a blend of murder mystery and quirky humour. Diganth plays Lohit Rajesh, a left-handed techie navigating a world that seems tailor-made for right-handers. In a voice-over that opens the trailer, Lohit casually mentions that there are four murders and one accident case against him. His logic? When a leftie is forced to do things with his right hand, accidents are inevitable.advertisement
'Pancharangi' actor Diganth Manchale seems to be carving a niche for himself in the quirky comedy space with back-to-back films like 'Bachelor Party', 'Powder' and 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana', where he plays the lead. It also unites him with Nidhi Subbaiah, a duo who delivered a sleeper hit film like Yogaraj Bhat's 'Pancharangi' in 2010.Here's another promo:After 14 years & We are still the same.. @nidhisubbaiah #EAKon13thjune pic.twitter.com/Y4U96dDazG— diganthmanchale (@diganthmanchale) May 26, 2025Despite facing production hurdles, including the departure of the original producer during the early days of shooting, the film is now complete and appears poised for an engaging theatrical run. The trailer stands out with its 3-minute 37-second cut - longer than standard - but holds attention with its inventive editing, distinct cinematography and background score.However, with Kannada films in recent times, there have been instances where the brilliant technicalities presented in a trailer go missing on the big screen. Examples include 'Vidyapati' and Diganth's previous release as the lead, 'Powder'. Will the technical brilliance of filmmaking be a trailer-only element with this one too? One could only hope.

Supreme Court Issues Notice To Karnataka For Ban On Kamal Haasan's Thug Life
Last Updated: During the film's audio launch, Kamal Haasan claimed that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil', sparking strong reactions in Karnataka. The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice on a plea challenging Karnataka's 'extra-judicial ban" on the screening of 'Thug Life' — a film by veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam and superstar Kamal Haasan. A bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan sought responses of Karnataka's Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary (Home) and Director General of Police in the matter and posted the petition for further hearing on Tuesday (June 17). During the film's audio launch, Kamal Haasan claimed that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil", sparking strong reactions in Karnataka. The writ petition filed by Bengaluru's M. Mahesh Reddy claimed that despite certification by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the Karnataka government has prevented Thug Life's theatrical release through oral instructions and police interference. Advocate A. Velan, representing the petitioner, contended that such actions amounted to an unconstitutional restriction on free speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. The Karnataka government has completely 'capitulated" to extremist elements, who were attacking linguistic minorities and calling for the burning of theatres, submitted Velan. As per the petition, the ban stems from a deliberate campaign of terror, including explicit threats of arson against cinema halls, incitement to large-scale communal violence targeting linguistic minorities, and a chilling call for a repeat of past anti-Tamil riots. 'This reign of intimidation is a direct, flagrant violation of the Fundamental Rights to Freedom of Speech and Expression (Article 19(1)(a)) and to Practice any Profession (Article 19(1)(g)). More seriously, it is a calculated attack on the secular fabric and public order of the State," stated the petition. Following the row over Haasan's remarks on the origins of the Kannada language, the film's producer, Raaj Kamal Films International, had petitioned the Karnataka High Court seeking protection. However, the Karnataka HC suggested that Kamal Haasan issue an apology, but the actor-politician has refused to do so. As a result of the actor's refusal to issue an outright apology, the film's release in Karnataka has been postponed indefinitely.

Supreme Court seeks Karnataka's reply over de facto ban on Thug Life release
Supreme Court seeks Karnataka's response on plea over de facto ban on Kamal Haasan's film Thug Life release. Petition says film not screened despite having required certification Theatres allegedly facing threats over screening Thug Life in Karnataka Supreme Court asks Karnataka government to file detailed response The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Karnataka government, seeking its response to a plea alleging a de facto ban on the release of the film Thug Life, starring actor-politician Kamal Haasan, despite the film being certified and having sought police protection. A Bench comprising Justices PK Mishra and Manmohan took note of the petitioner's claim that although the film had received certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), it was not being permitted to screen in Karnataka due to threats of violence against theatres. The Court remarked, 'Considering the urgency shown, we issue notice to the respondent.' The petition, filed by Bengaluru resident M Mahesh Reddy, alleged that the film was facing a de facto ban due to threats from fringe organisations and the inaction of state authorities. 'The State has completely capitulated. They have joined hands with extremist elements. One of the theatres was seized while women and children were still inside! No FIR was registered. The theatre management were running for cover,' argued Advocate A Velan, representing the petitioner. The row comes in the wake of recent remarks by Kamal Haasan, who stated that 'Kannada was born out of Tamil', triggering sharp backlash and calls for a boycott of his film in Karnataka. According to the petition, after Victory Cinema in Bengaluru announced its intention to screen the film, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) President TA Narayana Gowda allegedly threatened to 'set theatres on fire' if any Haasan film was released in the State. The plea also highlights a social media post from the same period that called for a repeat of the 1991 anti-Tamil riots and warned of violence following the film's scheduled release on June 5. Despite widespread concern over the post and the alleged threats, no case has been registered so far, the petitioner informed the Court. The situation reportedly escalated when members of the KRV attempted to lay siege to Victory Cinema on June 1. Following this, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) declared a 'ban' on the film, allegedly under pressure from various groups. The petitioner further claimed that although the film's producer had approached the Karnataka High Court seeking police protection, the focus of the hearing shifted to whether Haasan ought to apologise for his past statements. The petitioner has described this development as an act of appeasement, arguing that it made the High Court route ineffective for safeguarding fundamental rights. In the High Court, Haasan declined to apologise, stating instead that he was in discussions with the KFCC on the issue.
