Kaali Poster Controversy: A Hindu seer has threatened filmmaker Leena Manimekalai after the latter shared the poster of her film ‘Kaali’ which depicts Goddess Kaali smoking a cigarette. The movie poster has triggered an outrage over the goddess’ portrayal.
Issuing a threat to the filmmaker, Raju Das mahant of Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya, said, “Look at the recent events. When Nupur Sharma said the right things, it sparked fire across India, across the world. But you want to insult the Sanatan dharam? Kya chaahte ho, tumhara bhi sar tan se juda ho jaaye (Do you also want your head to be separated from your body)? Is this what you want?”
Raju Das condemned the movie poster and said, “Filmmaker Leena’s documentary movie is an insult to Sanatan dharam and Hindu gods and goddesses.”
The trailer shows a woman dressed in the costume of Goddess Kaali. She is seen smoking a cigarette in the photo. Along with her usual accoutrements of a trishul (trident) and sickle, the actor playing the goddess is shown wielding the LGBTQ+ community's pride flag.
