Ahmedabad: Screening of Bollywood movie Jodhaa Akbar has been stopped in multiplexes across the city following protests by the Rajput community.
A group of people also vandalised a single-screen cinema hall, screening the movie, in Naroda area of the city on Sunday.
“Most of the multiplexes have temporarily stopped screening of the film after a group of around 25 persons came to all the multiplexes and warned against screening the film,” Manubhai Patel, president of Multiplexes Owners’ Association of Gujarat told PTI.
“We are trying to convince the people of Rajput community to allow us to screen the movie,” he added.
Meanwhile, a group of around 25 people broke glass doors, windows and furniture at the Galaxy Cinema Hall.
Police resorted to a mild lathi charge to control the mob, officials said, adding that they have detained three people.
