New Delhi: After being banned in Jodhaa’s homeland Rajasthan, Ashutosh Gowariker’s magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar ran into trouble in Gurgaon near Delhi on Sunday.
People of the Rajput community protested outside PVR cinemas leading to temporarily stopping the screening of the movie.
The protestors pulled down the posters of the movie that was released just two days ago.
An ambitious period drama, the film also sparked protests in Patna and Ahmedabad.
A little-known Rajput organisation, Pratap Sena, vandalised a theatre in Naroda area in Ahmedabad on Sunday, and the police had to be called in to control them.
The same scene was repeated in Patna where a student's union took to the streets to protest the screening of the film.
Though some theatres in Ahmedabad have stopped the screening for the day, multiplex owners say they will resume the screening on Monday.
“We'll deal with this problem in a peaceful manner. There is no question of not showing the movie, because what the movie narrates is just a fictional story,” President Multiplex Owners’ Association Manu Bhai Patel says.
