Protests against Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’ in Pune, team stranded in hotel room

Madhur Bhandarkar and Kirti Kulhari are currently busy promoting their film ‘Indu Sarkar’. The movie is set against the backdrop of Emergency and due to the sensitive subject it has been facing a lot of issues. The team is in Pune today for the promotions of the movie, but are stranded in their hotel room as there’s a protest against them happening in the lobby.

Madhur Bhandarkar tweeted a few pictures and wrote, “Congress workers hv barged in the Hotel lobby & created ruckus,me & team are stranded like hostages in hotel room. #pune activity cancelled.”

He later posted a video of people protesting outside the hotel, and wrote, “Its baffling to see self proclaimed custodians of #freedomOfExpression creating huge ruckus to prevent a legitimate release of #InduSarkar.” (Also Read: CBFC demands 14 cuts in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’)

After few hours, the director again tweeted, “Thank u for your timely intervention Commisoner Rashmi Shuklaji @PuneCityPolice & spl thanks to DCP Mundeji for ensuring safety of my team.?”

Well, what is happening with the film is totally wrong and we hope that it gets a clear release. The movie which also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh is slated to release on July 28, 2017.
