So, 'Baahubali-2' will be releasing in Karnataka on April 28. The issue pertaining to comments Sathyaraj made several years ago has been resolved with Sathyaraj apologizing for them.

Staunch Kannadiga hardliner Vattal Nagaraj who heads the group of pro-Kannadiga organisations that were up in arms against the release of 'Baahubali 2' in Karnataka has officially announced that the protest against 'Baahubali 2' has been withdrawn as Sathyaraj has expressed regret for his comments.

Now all the bottlenecks for the release of the mega-budgeted period fantasy flick have been removed, giving good news to Kannadiga fans of the magnum opus.

More than Rajamouli's Kannada-language address to "Kannada friends", Sathyaraj's carefully-worded videographed apology has worked.
