Acharya Pramod Krishnam Sends Legal Notice Over 'Kalki 2898 AD'
Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 20: Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam has sent a legal notice to the producers and actors of the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD'. The notice was sent to Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and South Indian actor Prabhas, among others.
Religious Sentiments Hurt
Acharya Pramod Krishnam stated that the movie has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus. He emphasized that India is a land of emotions, faith, and devotion, and the values of Sanatana Dharma should not be tampered with. He mentioned that Lord Kalki Narayan, considered the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is central to their faith.
He added, "This film goes against what is described in our scriptures. This 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."
Legal Notice Details
The legal notice was sent by Ujjawal Anand Sharma, Advocate of the Supreme Court of India, on behalf of Acharya Pramod. The notice claims that the movie has changed the basic concept of Lord Kalki from what is written in Hindu Puranic Scriptures, making the portrayal and depiction of the story inaccurate and disrespectful.
The notice further states, "Such a depiction has already led to confusion and further has the propensity to irretrievably tarnish the mythology and ethos of Lord Kalki in the hearts and minds of devout Hindus; which will lead to misunderstanding, misinterpretation and subsequent erosion of the Hindu faith, thereby causing extreme distress to the faith and religious sentiments of Our Client, and needless to say, of the wider Hindu community at large."
