A Pro-Kannada group titled Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene showed protest in front of Manyata Tech Park, against the soon-to-take-place celebration, reports India Today.

“We are against Sunny wearing short clothes. If she wears saree and takes part in the event, even we’ll go watch her. Sunny doesn’t have a good past. We shouldn’t be encouraging such people. We will not hesitate to commit suicide on December 31,” the organisation’s secretary stated.

On the other hand, the organisers say the programme will not be a blow to the state’s cultural values.

“This is a family-type programme with Sunny dancing on a Kannada song, and I, being a Kannadiga, have kept the programme’s standard based on the Bengaluru culture itself. Even though Sunny got a lot of events that offered her more money, she rejected those and agreed to come to Bengaluru since Bengaluru and Hyderabad are her favourite places. I don’t know what the protestors are expecting or what they think; this is a family show where the culture of the state won’t be disturbed,” one of the organisers said.
