He added that it was not team’s intention to hurt the sentiments of any caste, community or religion.
Shortly after its release, the team was accused of showing Hindu gods in a bad light, The Indian Express reported Monday. An FIR was also filed against the web series by India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, whose members called for a ban on the series.
Kangana Ranaut, who has been stirring controversy for a while for her right-wing views, tweeted that the makers of Tandav should be sent to jail not just for anti-Hindu content, but also for “torturing viewers”.
The problem isn’t just the Hindu phobic content, it’s also creatively poor and deprived,atrocious and objectionable on every level hence deliberately placed controversial scenes. Put them in jail not just for criminal intentions but also for torturing the viewer #tandavwebseries https://t.co/bmeaPzgkA5
