Bheeshma Makers In Trouble

Bheeshma is gearing up for a grand release on this Friday, which falls on 21 Feb 2020. Now the makers of the movie have got in trouble as BJP Dharmik Cell convener familiar Sri Krishna Chaitanya, principal secretary Rathakaram Ramu and others demanded a change of title of the film. They raised objections over the title of ‘Bheeshma’, and alleged that using the name of a great personality and a warrior-like Bheeshma Pitamah in Mahabharata for the movie title, will hurt the sentiments of the Hindu religion.

Leaders demanded the producers of ‘Bheeshma’ to change the title immediately, and they also questioned how the makers can use such title for a romantic drama.

One of the Bharatiya Janatha Party Leaders said, “Bheeshma in Mahabharat was a bachelor and using the name of him for a lover boy film is an insult, which hurts the sentiment of Hindus.”

They also sent a strong warning to the makers that if the team does not change the movie's title, they will stop the screening of the movie and will also approach the court against the producers. The makers of the film are yet to respond.
