Why can't Kannadigas watch the new Avengers movie in Kannada? Why isn't even Shankar Nag's Malgudi Days not available to watch in Kannada? Kannada and Kannadigas have suffered from an illegal, unconstitutional ban on dubbing into Kannada, that is over 50 years old. The dubbing ban has been steadily contested by a #DubbingBeku movement, where multiple films have finally been dubbed into Kannada, and a dubbed movie was released in over 100 theatres in the state in 2018. Hosts Pavan Srinath and Surya Prakash BS speak to Vasant Shetty of Munnota and Gautham S Hegde of Harivu Creations, who have been at the forefront of this marathon to transform entertainment in Kannada, and eventually transform Kannada as a language.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
