Haider
starring
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Shraddha
Kapoor
which
has
garnered
mixed
reviews
at
the
box
office
is
creating
a
controversy
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir.
Many
scenes
of
Haider
has
been
shot
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir.
While
some
have
been
appreciating
the
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
adaptation
of
William
Shakespeare's
Hamlet,
many
others
dissed
the
film
for
slow
pace.
Recently-released
film
Haider
needs
to
be
banned
said
a
certain
Kashmiri
pandit
groups
on
Tuesday,
as
they
felt
a
song
in
the
film
titled
'Bismil'
had
portrayed
the
ancient
Sun
Temple
(Martand
Temple)
of
Kashmir
as
a
devil's
den.
This
has
hurt
the
religious
sentiments
of
Hindus
all
over
the
world
and
so
the
ban
was
seeked.
"By
allowing
shooting
of
a
film
inside
the
temple
and
then
depicting
as
the
devil's
den
is
intolerable.
We
demand
immediate
deletion
of
the
song
or
the
re-shoot
of
the
entire
sequence," members
of
the
APMCC
said.
The
committee
plans
to
issue
a
legal
notice
for
‘defaming
an
ancient
Hindu
temple
and
hurting
religious
sentiments
of
Hindus'
to
the
producer,
CBFC
and
ASI.
Incidentally,
the
film
is
directed
by
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
co-written
by
a
Kashmiri
author,
Basharat
Peer.
While
the
film
is
making
money
at
the
box
office
slowly,
this
controversy
is
sure
a
big
threat
for
the
makers
of
this
film.
