Pushpa 2: Karni Sena threatens to thrash producer over Fahadh Faasil’s character ‘Shekhawat’

by

As an ardent fan who has followed the cinematic journey of Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil with bated breath, I find myself both thrilled by their success and disheartened by the persistent controversies surrounding Pushpa 2: The Rule. It’s a rollercoaster ride, isn’t it? One moment, we’re celebrating record-breaking box office collections, and the next, we’re grappling with threats from groups like Karni Sena.

Since its debut, Pushpa 2 has enjoyed tremendous success. Starring Allu Arjun, this movie has garnered massive applause from audiences and broken numerous box office records. Yet, its accomplishments appear to be overshadowed by a new controversy.

According to recent updates, Karni Sena has issued a warning to the producers of Allu Arjun’s upcoming film Pushpa 2: The Rule. In a post shared on social media, one of their leaders criticized the makers for creating a character like Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil, which they feel disrespects the Kshatriya community as a whole.

Check out the video here:

Raj Shekhawat insisted that the filmmaker modify the frequent use of his surname in the movie, as it was a blatant disrespect to his community. Additionally, he warned he would physically confront the producers within their homes and go to great lengths if this error is not rectified throughout the entire length of the film.

Raj Shekhawat expressed his disapproval, saying that the film has shown a disrespectful portrayal towards the Kshatriyas. His community, the Shekhawats, have been depicted negatively in an offensive manner. The entertainment industry has repeatedly misused the freedom of speech by disrespecting the Kshatriyas, and this time is no exception. If the filmmakers do not edit out or eliminate the frequent use of the ‘Shekhawat’ name from the movie, they risk facing violent retaliation from the Karni Sena, who may resort to extreme measures to enforce their demands.

To put it another way, since the release of Sukumar’s movie, it hasn’t been free from controversy. On its premiere night, December 4, at the famous Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad, a chaotic situation similar to a stampede took place when Allu Arjun was present.

The disorder that ensued ultimately claimed a life, specifically a woman’s. Shortly following this tragic event, a report was filed, and the proprietor of the theater, together with two others, have already been apprehended for their involvement.

Furthermore, Allu Arjun pledged not only financial assistance worth 25 million rupees to the victim’s family, but also guaranteed that he would cover their hospital bills if necessary.
