There are many such films in Bollywood cinema, which have faced allegations of hurting religious sentiments before their release. A few days back, the trailer of the big budget film ‘Brahmastra’ was released, in which Ranbir Kapoor was seen wearing shoes inside the temple. Due to this scene, people were very angry on social media. At the same time, now another similar case has come to the fore. Recently, Indian filmmaker Leena Manimekalai shared a poster of her documentary, which is now getting a lot of controversy. In this poster, Kaali Maa is shown smoking a cigarette and people are very much furious after seeing this.
Actually, Leena Manimekalai’s upcoming documentary is titled ‘Kaali’, whose poster was shared by the filmmaker on Twitter on the previous day. In this poster, it can be seen that an actress is in the avatar of Kaali Maa and is seen smoking a cigarette. With this poster, Leena told that she is very excited about this project as her documentary ‘Kaali’ has been launched at the Canada Film Festival.
Super thrilled to share the launch of my recent film – today at @AgaKhanMuseum as part of its “Rhythms of Canada”

However, as soon as Leena shared this poster of her documentary on social media, people got furious after seeing it. This avatar of Maa Kaali in the poster has not been liked by the social media users at all, and now people have accused Leena of hurting religious sentiments. One user wrote, ‘Hinduism’s sentiments are hurt everyday. These people are testing our patience. Some users also asked Leena that can she show a god of another religion smoking like this?

Let us tell you that this poster shared by Leena Manimekalai has caught the attention of people for other reasons as well. In this poster, the actress dressed as Kaali Maa is holding a trident in one hand and a flag of the LGBTQ community in the other. This is what is attracting people to this poster.
