Ali Abbas Zafar’s political drama Tandav released on January 15. And in just two days since its release, the series has managed to offend a section of netizens and several politicians. On Sunday, Maharashtra BJP MLA Ram Kadam filed a complaint against the makers, actors and director of Tandav.

The MLA has alleged that the series insults Hindu deities and demanded the removal of certain scenes that which he feels has mocked Lord Shiva. Kadam also demanded an apology from Tandav actor Zeeshan Ayub.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Kadam in a series of tweets wrote, Why is it becoming a trend amongst films and web series makers to demean Hindu gods? The latest culprit seems to be the series #Tandav. #SaifAliKhan again part of a film or series which attempts to target Hindu deities. Director Ali Abbas Zafar needs to remove that scene which mocks…(sic).”

Further demanding a ban on the series until certain scenes are removed, the MLA wrote, Hindu God Shiva. Actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub needs to apologise and Tandav should be boycotted until necessary changes are made. #BoycottTandav(sic).”

BJP leader Kapil Mishra has also accused the series of insulting Dalits and Hindus.

Meanwhile, security around Saif’s Mumbai house has been beefed up following the controversy surrounding Tandav. Saif and Kareena have bought a new place near their old house. The couple’s staff was seen moving their belongings from the old house to the new one.
