RRR: Komaram Bheem’s Grandson Sone Rao Demands SS Rajamouli To Take Down Jr NTR’s First Look Teaser
On October 22, SS Rajamouli released the first look teaser of Jr NTR as Komaram Bheem from his next RRR. Jr NTR's rough and tough look was loved by the audience, but a certain section of people raised questions over his look in the film. Adilabad tribal community expressed their anger and disappointment over Jr NTR's look in the teaser, where he is seen wearing a Muslim skull cap. After the tribal community, Komaram Bheem's grandson Sone Rao has found a fault in the teaser and alleged that it's a distortion of history.
According to Bollywood Life, a video of Sone Rao went viral on social media. In the video, he demanded SS Rajamouli to take down Jr NTR's first look teaser from the internet.
Sone Rao On Distortion Of History
In the video, Sone Rao said that director SS Rajamouli or writers didn't consult them. Calling it a distortion of history, Komaram Bheem's grandson said, "Bheem fought for the land, water and other resources of tribals. Representing him as a minority community member is nothing but a distortion."
Threat To Protest Against RRR
While speaking about the first look, Sone Rao threatened to protest against the film. "By misrepresenting a hero we all worship as a god, the film has offended us Adivasis. We request Rajamouli to withdraw the Muslim get-up. If he doesn't withdraw the look, we will surely protest against the movie," he added.
Adilabad Tribal Community Slams SS Rajamouli
Apart from Komaram Bheem's grandson Sone Rao, Adilabad tribal community also issued a statement, in which they warned Rajamouli to remove the scene. They took objection on the particular scene in which Jr NTR as Komaram Bheem is seen wearing a Muslim skull cap. The statement reads, "Komaram Bheem fought against the Nizam and his Razakar army. He took up arms against Nizam soldiers until his last breath. Why has Rajamouli shown Komaram Bheem wearing a Muslim skull cap? This has hurt the sentiments of thousands of Adivasis. Such blatant falsehood in the name of history. If he wants to make a movie, let him show the belly buttons of women. Why insult our God? If Rajamouli fails to remove such portrayal of Komaram Bheem, we will dig his grave." Well, SS Rajamouli has not yet reacted to the controversy.
