Acharya Pramod Krishnam Sends Legal Notice to 'Kalki 2898 AD' Producers and Actors

Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam has sent a legal notice to the makers of 'Kalki 2898 AD', including Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas. The notice claims the film distorts Hindu religious beliefs and scriptures, causing offense to devotees.

Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam has issued a legal notice to the producers and actors of the recently released movie 'Kalki 2898 AD', alleging that it distorts Hindu religious beliefs. Among those named are Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and South Indian star Prabhas.

Speaking about his actions, Krishnam stated that the film hurts the religious sentiments of Hindus and misrepresents the values of Sanatana Dharma. "India is a land of emotions, faith, and devotion. The values of Sanatana Dharma should not be tampered with," he said.

The legal notice, sent by Supreme Court advocate Ujjawal Anand Sharma on behalf of Krishnam, argues that the film changes the basic concept of Lord Kalki, as described in Hindu scriptures, and could lead to misunderstanding and erosion of faith among devotees.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, 'Kalki 2898 AD' is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film inspired by Hindu mythology. The film features Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Disha Patani, and was released on June 27.
