After Raju Srivastava Slams 'Tandav', His Old Videos Spoofing God Brahma & Ramayan Go Viral
After Raju Srivastava slammed the makers of Tandav for hurting the sentiments of Hindus, his old vidoes slamming Brahma and Ramayan are going viral. People are calling out his hypocrisy.
Among the other people who have been offended by Ali Abbas Zafar's Tandav is Raju Srivastava, who recently released a video in which he has slammed the makers of Tandav for hurting the sentiments of Hindus.
"I have been saying this for a long time that Hindu feelings and sentiments are being mocked at. This is a conspiracy to defame the religion. Filmmakers and web show creators who are helming projects like Tandav should be ashamed of themselves. How dare you make fun of Hindu deities?" he asks.

"I dare you to make shows critiquing other religions. You won't be able to do because you will be killed. Saif Ali Khan has been supporting this again and again because it's given that Hindus are kind enough to forgive. But it's time for stringent action. Merely removing a scene isn't enough, perpetrators should be punished," he added.

Now, an old video of the comedian is being widely circulated on social media. In the video, Srivastava can be seen spoofing God Brahma. He tells Brahma that a number of shows are being made on him. He also tells him that he should know the mortals and promises to make him meet Madhuri Dixit.
Filmmaker Vinod Kapri shared the video on Twitter and called out his double standards for mocking God Brahma in this old video.

What is Tandav controversy all about?
The controversy surrounds a scene in the show in which actor Zeeshan Ayyub plays the role of Lord Shiva in a stage play. He asks, "Azaadi, what the f***?". The narrator of the skit tells Lord Shiva that he need to amp up his popularity on social media as Lord Ram's popularity is off the roof. That is when Shiva asks if he should change his display picture.
