Controversies

The Kantara actor responded to a question regarding Panjurli by saying Those gods they are all part of our tradition to Tamil channel Cinema Vikatan. Without a doubt it is a component of Hindu ceremonies and traditions. I have faith in and respect for my religion since I am Hindu. But I won't claim that others are mistaken. What we have mentioned has been done so using a component of Hindu dharma. 

Things went tough when Rishab Shetty's allegation was refuted by internet users and his supporters criticized him for it. Glad our Kannada film Kantara is making national ripples actor and activist Chetan Kumar Ahimsa stated. Bhootha Kola according to director Rishabh Shetty is Hindu culture. False Vedic-Brahminical Hinduism predates the Bahujan traditions of our Pambada/Nalike/Parawa. We demand accurate depictions of Moolnivasi cultures both on and off the screen. The moment his Tweet went public internet users immediately disagreed with him.
