Well known director Nagatihalli Chandrashekhar who was the president of the Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy has lost his post with immediate effect. 

The Government on Friday has issued an order regarding the cancellation of President and members of Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy, Karnataka Madhyama Academy, Kanteerava Studio Limited and various organisations which come under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Nagatihalli Chandrashekhar became the president of the KCA last year, when H D Kumaraswamy took over as the Chief Minister. Now as the Government has changed, there were suspicions whether Nagatihalli Chandrashekhar will also lose his post as the president of KCA. Now the Government has issued an order and a new chairman will be appointed soon.

Nagatihalli Chandrashekhar won't be participating as the chairman in the 'Belli Hejje' of director Richard Castellino today in Mangalore.
