RRR: Komaram Bheem's grandson opposes Jr NTR's look in SS Rajamouli's period drama

A few days back, we saw Adilabad tribal community sharing their anger and disappointment over Jr NTR's first look as Komaram Bheem, where he was seen wearing a Muslim skull cap. Now Komaram Bheem's grandson Sone Rao has found a fault and said that it's a distortion of history. In a video, which is going viral, we see him saying, "Had the director and writers consulted us for research information about our hero, we would have helped them out. Bheem fought for the land, water and other resources of tribals. Representing him as a minority community member is nothing but a distortion."

He adds "By misrepresenting a hero we all worship as a god, the film has offended us Adivasis. We request Rajamouli to withdraw the Muslim get-up. If he doesn't withdraw the look, we will surely protest against the movie." Adilabad tribal community recently issued a statement warning the filmmaker to remove the scene as it reads, "Komaram Bheem fought against the Nizam and his Razakar army. He took up arms against Nizam soldiers until his last breath. Why has Rajamouli shown Komaram Bheem wearing a Muslim skull cap? This has hurt the sentiments of thousands of adivasis. Such blatant falsehood in the name of history. If he wants to make a movie, let him show the belly buttons of women. Why insult our God? If Rajamouli fails to remove such portrayal of Komaram Bheem, we will dig his grave."

The statement further reads, "For us, Komaram Bheem is our deity. We even pray to him and observe Aswayuja Powrnami to commemorate his life. Portraying Komaram Bheem as a Muslim is an affront to his family and the entire Gond tribe. Rajamouli is spreading falsehood. He has not visited any of the villages in Adilabad, did not speak to the aadivasis before making the movie. Rajamouli, you remove the scene, or you will face our wrath." RRR, which also features Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran and Olivia Morris in key roles, will release in 2021.
