Dhruva
Sarja
and
Rashmika
Mandanna-starrer
Pogaru
is
performing
exceedingly
well
at
the
box
office.
The
Nanda
Kishore
directorial
is
running
in
theatres
with
hundred
per
cent
occupancy.
However,
Pogaru
has
recently
landed
in
trouble,
as
a
few
members
of
the
Brahmin
community
has
objected
to
a
particular
scene
in
the
film,
which
allegedly
hurts
their
sentiments.
The
members
of
the
Brahmin
community
are
now
planning
to
stage
a
protest
against
Pogaru,
as
they
have
demanded
the
removal
of
a
controversial
scene
and
mute
a
few
dialogues,
which
are
insulting
their
community.
A
priest
from
the
community,
Nagendra
Jois
told
Bangalore
Mirror,
"We
have
been
demanding
that
the
producer
and
the
director
of
the
movie
Pogaru
delete
the
scene
where
a
rowdy
puts
his
foot
on
a
priest's
shoulder.
A
few
dialogues
and
scenes
are
in
bad
taste.
The
movie
is
not
aimed
at
conveying
a
message
to
society.
It
has
all
elements
to
misguide
the
youth
in
society." The
priest
also
said
that
they
will
submit
a
memorandum
to
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
about
the
same.
Apart
from
Nagendra
Jois,
several
other
Brahmin
wings' members
have
also
demanded
the
same
and
if
they
don't
remove
the
scene,
they
say
they
will
stop
the
screening
of
the
film.
The
portal
also
reported
that
Karnataka
State
Brahmin
Development
Board
chairman
HS
Sachidananda
Murthy
also
demanded
the
removal
of
scenes
and
dialogues
that
hurt
the
sentiments
of
Brahmins.
After
learning
about
the
turmoil
the
scene
created,
the
director
of
Pogaru,
Nanda
Kishore
said
that
he
has
no
intention
of
hurting
the
sentiments
of
any
community.
The
director
told
the
portal,
"I
apologise
If
I
have
hurt
the
sentiments
of
the
Brahmin
community.
In
the
beginning
of
the
movie,
we
made
it
clear
that
the
characters
or
dialogues
are
not
aimed
at
a
particular
community
of
people." To
avoid
further
issues,
Kishore
agreed
to
remove
the
scene
from
the
movie,
but
he
sought
a
minimum
of
15
days
for
the
same.
The
director
revealed
that
removing
the
particular
scene
is
a
long
process,
and
he
needs
some
time
to
do
that.
