Another film has been surrounded by controversy. A Toronto-based filmmaker Leena Manimekalai recently shared the poster of her upcoming film called Kaali. However, soon it received a stern reaction from netizens. The poster depicted a woman dressed as a Goddess smoking whilst holding the LGBTQ flag in her hand. Netizens slammed her and even got a complaint filed against Leena for hurting the religious sentiments of people. A complaint has been filed to the Delhi Police by Ajay Gautam who heads the Gau Mahasbha. He has demanded a ban on the film. Now, Leena has reacted to the same.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Leena Manimekalai responded to all the backlash that she has been receiving for the Kaali poster. She stated that she wants to be a part of the people who can speak without fear. She wrote, “I have nothing to lose. I want to be with a voice that speaks without fear of anything until it is. If the price is my life, I will give it.” Check out her post below:
