Kannada Rakshana Vedike President K Harish told reporters here that the forum does not have any objection to Leone performing in the event here, but would oppose her playing the character as Veeramahadevi, a historical icon, who is revered as a goddess figure by the Kannadigas.

“It will be inappropriate for Leone to don the role ofVeeramahadevi who had championed the cause of Hindus,” he said.

Commissioner of police T Suneel Kumar had said police had given the nod for Leone’s event, but withconditions.

Earlier this month, members of the Kannada Rakshana Vedike had staged an agitation against Leone and burned her posters here.
