Coincidentally, in “Bangara s/o Bangarada Manushya”, Shivanna is seen in the role of a progressive farmer who leads farmers’ demonstrations.
It can be recalled that scores of farmers from Haryana, Punjab and other states are protesting against the Union Government for enacting three new laws, which they claim will destroy the minimum support price system.
The agitating farmers called for a Bharat bandh on December 8, but there has been a lukewarm response for the same in most parts of the country.
