रें। #LoveJihad #Kedarnath #KedarnathTeaser /1nPdRFaeju.On Thursday, a group of people at the district headquarters town of Rudraprayag organised a protest against the film.“A similar demonstration was also held at Kotdwar,†said Ajendra Ajay, a state BJP leader who has held a minister-level post. Incidentally, locals have already started protesting against its release. Shukla said the priests had strongly protested against the film when its “vulgar dance sequences†were being shot around Kedarnath shrine. The term ‘love jihad’ refers to alleged campaigns under which Muslim men target the non-Muslim women for conversion to Islam.Īccording to a Hindustan Times report, Vinod Shukla, chairman, Kedar Sabha, an organisation of the priests based in Kedarnath said, “We will launch an agitation if the movie is not banned as we have been told that it hurts the Hindu religious sentiments by promoting ‘love jihad’.â€Â Teerth purohits (priests) of the shrine town of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand’s Chardham have demanded that a blanket ban be imposed on the movie stating that it hurts the Hindu religious sentiments and promotes ‘Love Jihad’. Right after its first glimpse, the film is facing rough waters. As nature appears to play the role of the antagonist in the film, Mansoor and Mukku's love sprouts defying all odds. Sushant Singh Rajput plays Mansoor, a 'pitthu' who helps Mukku complete her journey on a 'kandi’ and survive the tragedy. Sara, who is making her Bollywood debut with the movie, features as a tourist-pilgrim Mukku, who embarks on the 14-km journey from Gauri Kund to Kedarnath at a time when the sudden and devastating Kedarnath floods destroyed Uttarakhand in 2013. Kedarnath managed to glue everyone to the screen from the word go, courtesy the powerful love story of Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput. After much wait and speculation, the makers of Kedarnath unveiled the teaser of their upcoming film a few days ago.
