Mysore/Mysuru: Reacting to the Congress protest and the party leaders seeking Police action against him for allegedly misusing his position to divide the society, Rangayana Director Addanda C. Cariappa told Star of Mysore this morning that the play ‘Sambashiva Prahasana’ was a satire and must be seen as a comedy.
“The play does not mention Siddharamaiah and Shivakumar but is a satire on rulers and it must be taken in that spirit. I cannot help if they interpret the scenes in the play to suit their political narrative. All political leaders are lampooned and in the past, Siddharamaiah himself justified many plays and books where his opponents were ridiculed and said it was artistic freedom. Why the same yardstick is not applied here,” he asked.
