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

Whats the point in dubbing the movie and releasing it in original language. More shows should be given to Kannada version.I have not watched any Telugu movie in theatres, so wanted to watch this one in my language but it is not happening #boycottdearcomrade— Rajkumar (@Rajkuma57997095) July 26, 2019
Cities like Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru has Telugu shows instead of Kannada!
Does not make any sense.#BoycottDearComrade#StopTeluguImposition

23 shows of Dear comrade in Telugu compared to zero shows of Kannada in Mysuru, cultural capital of Karnataka. Why the hell they even dubbed the movie to Kannada? #StopTeluguImposition #boycottdearcomrade

In an interview with Film Companion, Vijay Deverokonda revealed that the makers decided to release the movie in different languages since the crew belonged from different states. "My cameraman is a Malayalee, my editor is a Malayalee, my music director is Tamil, my actress is Kannadiga. We realised that this is something we love the output and we realised this is something that works across regions, irrespective of languages. We thought why do we restrict it," he said, speaking about releasing the movie in different languages. "This is the first time we are doing it so we will understand how it works, what is the payoff. It is a lot of effort which we realised," he added.
