“We won’t allow Prasoon Joshi to enter Rajasthan. The moment he steps into the airport, we will follow him and we will protest,” Sukhdev Singh, a member of the organisation told NDTV.

The fringe group, yesterday, blocked roads in Rajasthan and caused destructions at a theatre in Bihar, in protest of the Supreme Court’s verdict.

However, the makers as well as actors are keeping their fingers crossed for a peaceful release.
