Jaipur: A Rajput group violently protested against Salman Khan starrer Veer in Jaipur on Saturday.
The protestors, belonging to Rajput Ranvir Sena, ransacked Triton Mall in Jaipur against the screening of Veer claiming the movie hurts the sentiments of Rajput community and shows them in bad light.
A Rajput Ranvir Sena leader claimed that the film hurt the sentiments of the Rajput community by showing the warrior protagonist in poor light.
He also said that the Sena would sue the makers of the film.
“We will file a suit in the court,” said Sena leader Ajit Singh.
The protest by Rajput Ranvir Sena is not the first time that the community has drawn swords against a Bollywood film.
In February 2008, the Karni Sena staged a peaceful protest against the movie Jodhaa Akbar citing factual inaccuracies. They claim Jodhaa was the wife of Akbar's son Jehangir.
In January 2001, a group of Rajputs in Jaipur and Jodhpur protested outside movie halls screening Shyam Benegal's Zubeida. They were objecting to the portrayal the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Hanumant Singh.
