Published: July 22, 2024 5:59 PM IST By Edited by Recently released, Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Amitabh and Deepika has landed in legal trouble. This situation surfaced after a notice was served to the filmmaking team and actors, such as the iconic Amitabh Bachchan. Former Congress leader, Acharya Pramod, initiated the course of action, alleging that the film contradicts and misrepresents religious scriptures, thereby offending the sensibilities of the Hindu community.
Scroll down to find more details. Acharya Pramod said, “India is a land of emotions, faith and devotion. The values of Santana Dharma should not be tampered with.
The scriptures of Sanatana should not be altered. Lord Kalki Narayan is at the center of our faith. He is considered the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu (sic).
” The Congressman further added, “This film goes against what is described in our scriptures. The film is hurting our religious sentiments. Therefore, we have noted some objections and are waiting for a response.
Playing with the sentiments of Hindus has become a pastime for filmmakers. Saints are portrayed as demons. Freedom of expression does not mean that you can play with our faith (sic).
