Protests against movies |
The Bharatiya Janata Party Yuva Morcha held a protest against the screening of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer `Dilwale` in Jabalpur ( Madhya Pradesh) . The reason for the agitation is the statement made by Shah Rukh Khan, film`s lead actor and producer, against rising `intolerance` in India in October 2015.Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajarang Dal, have also been protesting against the Shah Rukh Khan starrer in Rajasthan over the last few days for the same reason. Two people, allegedly from Bajarang Dal also filed a memorandum against the release of `Dilwale` to the local administration. Meanwhile, the BJP Yuva Morcha also held protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s `Bajirao Mastani`, which led to the cancellation of three shows in Pune`s City Pride theatre. They were also joined by the descendants of Peshwa and Chhatrasal dynasty. The protestors have alleged that the film has distorted history regarding the life of Peshwa Bajirao, which, they feel, is `hurting` the sentiments of his followers.
