Rangareddy (Telangana): A right wing organisation has filed a complaint with the police against filmmaker S S Rajamouli, accusing him of hurting Hindu sentiments with his comments about Lord Hanuman during a recent promotional event in Hyderabad for his upcoming film Varanasi.
The remarks in question were reportedly made by Rajamouli on November 15 at the 'Globe Trotter' event, organised to promote the film.
A police official said, "Yesterday we received a complaint from Vanarasena organisation alleging that filmmaker SS Rajamouli hurt Hindu feelings by saying, 'I don't believe in God Hanuman’, at the ‘Varanasi’ movie teaser launch in Ramoji Film City. So far, we have not registered a case."
The official added that an investigation into the matter is currently underway.
