There is a very organised racket in Karnataka which wants to fail dubbing of Telugu films in Kannada and impose Telugu on 6 crore Kannadigas. We will fight them.#BoycottDearComrade#StopTeluguImposition

You have got to blame KFI and KFCC for having sold the entertainment market in Karnataka totally to Telugus.#DearComrade shows are un-naturally higher for Telugu version
Davangere : 3 Telugu, 1 Kannada
Bidar : 4T , 1K
Kalburgi : 11 T, 1K#BoycottDearComrade#StopTeluguImposition— Amarnath Shivashankar (@Amara_Bengaluru) July 25, 2019

#StopTeluguImposition Dear Kannadigas, the best way to stop this Telugu movie mafia is by not watching any Telugu movies in Karnataka. Just stick to Kannada movies. #BoycottDearComrade

This is so unfair, have no idea why there is so much silence over this issue.— Ustaad_Nishant (@NishanVm) July 26, 2019
#BoycottDearComrade thought of watching it but they have made a mockery of us in the name of dubbing. It's as good as no Kannada version at all.

Cities like Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru has Telugu shows instead of Kannada!
Does not make any sense.#BoycottDearComrade#StopTeluguImposition

Have heard enough crap that entertainment doesnt have language barriers.
Kannadigas should start developing some self respect and demand for kannada dubbed editions of any non kannada movies instead of watching it in original language#StopTeluguImposition #boycottdearcomrade— Amarnath Shivashankar (@Amara_Bengaluru) July 25, 2019
