Ajay Devgn's Tanjahi has time and again landed itself into a legal soup.Recently, a petition was filed by the Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Koli Rajput Sangh in Delhi High Court claiming that Om Raut, director of the film 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' concealed the true lineage of great warrior Tanhaji Malusare in the movie.?
The petitioner society comprises members of the Kshatriya Koli community who have strongly object to the film, which they say misrepresents the lineage of the great Tanhaji Malusare, who has been purportedly shown as belonging to the Maratha community while according to the petitioners he is a Koli Maratha.
The petitioner has appealed to the court to issue an appropriate direction to the Central Board of Film Certification not to give the film a certificate for the release unless the director of the film Om Raut shows the true lineage of Tanhaji.
Talking about the ongoing protests and FIR's against the film, Devgn "Ek toh communities itni hai ki koi na koi hurt ho hi jayega. Then there are those who do it for fame. The genuine ones, you can still have a conversation with. But at the end of the day, we will never be able to make everyone happy!"?
He spoke about the ongoing CAA protests, Devgn was addressing a group of audience at Agenda AajTak 2019, where he said,?
"This is a democracy. The establishment has an opinion, and there are those who do not agree with that opinion. Everyone should have the right to express their opinion. Violence is not the answer. Instead of fighting, things should be settled amicably, so that the aam janta doesn't suffer!"?
Apart from Ajay Devgn, the film stars Saif Ali Khan, Kajol, Jagapathi Babu and Sharad Kelkar in lead roles. It is slated for release on January 10.
