Scenes in Adhurs objectionable: Brahmins
Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: Telangana Brahmana Sanghala Samakhya has demanded removal
of a song and few scenes in the Junior NTR-starrer 'Adhurs' film,
citing them as objectionable and hurting the sentiments of Brahmin
community. The body has already moved State Human Rights Commission on
the issue.
Talking to media persons here on Tuesday, president of the samakhya
Chakilam Rajeswar Rao alleged that the film makers had wilfully shown
the community, particularly the `Vaishnava sect' in a poor light. The
objectionable scenes amounted to violation of human rights of the
community.
The samakhya, in its petition with the SHRC on Monday had sought
removal of the objectionable scenes and demanded action against
director and producer of the film, he stated.
The SHRC had issued notices to the Censor Board and adjourned the case
of for January 22, Mr. Rao said. Use of 'niluvu bottu' in 'chari…'
song was not only insulting the sentiments and customs of the
community but it also insulted Sri Venkateshwara Swamy and his
believers, he said.
The film makers had changed only two words in the song on the
objections raised before release of the film.
Scenes like two Brahmins enjoying a cabaret dance and consuming liquor
and, performing the last rites of three persons in a hurry threatened
the existence of the community, Mr. Rajeswar Rao explained.
He demanded that the film makers stop sale of CDs and cassettes of the
song and withdraw 'chari…' even in TV advertisements.
