Rajput leader Raj Shekhawat on Sunday threatened the producers of ‘Pushpa 2‘ accusing the movie of insulting the ‘Kshatriya’ community.
In a post on X, Shekhawat said, “Pushpa 2 movie has a negative role of “Shekhawat”, again insult to Kshatriyas, Karni Sainiks be ready, the producer of the movie will be thrashed soon.”
Alleging that the repeated “insult” of the ‘Shekhawat’ word in the movie has insulted the community, he demanded the makers to remove the word from the movie.
“The movie has done grave insult to Kshatriyas. The ‘Shekhawat’ community has been presented in a poor light. This industry has been insulting the Kshatriyas in the name of freedom of speech, and they have again done the same thing,” he said in a video.
