Shows of Marathi movie Har Har Mahadev disrupted in Pune, Thane due to this reason

The screening of the Marathi movie “ _Har Har Mahadev_ ” was stalled on Monday in separate incidents in Pune and Thane in Maharashtra over the “distortion of history”. In Pune city, the show was disrupted by members of a Maratha outfit while in Thane, NCP leader and former minister Jitendra Awhad allegedly led activists to stall the night screening of the movie at a multiplex. A day earlier, former Rajya Sabha member and Kolhapur royal family scion Sambhaji Chhatrapati had warned that if facts are found distorted in any upcoming films based on legendary warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj , he would oppose such movies and take all efforts to stall their release. Sambhaji Chhatrapati, who is a descendent of Shivaji Maharaj, had also expressed displeasure over the Marathi films ‘Har Har Mahadev’ (released recently) and ‘Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Saat’ (an upcoming project). “Members of ‘Sambhaji Brigade’ stalled the screening of ‘Har Har Mahadev’ at a theatre in Pune and warned the theatre owner. The history is distorted in ‘Har Har Mahadev’ while in ‘Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Sath’, the depiction of ‘Mavle’ (soldiers of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ) is frightful,” alleged Sambhaji Brigade leader Santosh Shinde. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the director Abhijeet Deshpande , talking about this magnum opus, said, " I have grown up listening to the stories of my  Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj . But I found that he is grossly unexplored as a character and as a human being. We revere him as God. So I started writing this film in 2012 and realised why he is even bigger than the Gods. And to tell this fascinating story, I got the character of Baji Prabhu Deshpande… an ageing warrior who finds a purpose so late in his life. And how he redeems himself by giving his life for Shivaji Maharaj. I wanted to show the unseen side of my Chhatrapati and the human side of war which no one has explored."
