Chilukur Balaji Temple priest seconds 'Kantara'

HYDERABAD: The Kannada film 'Kantara' has taken up the country by storm. The film has not only scored huge box office numbers along with widespread critical acclaim, but it has also now become political, too, of the allegations of it being a pedestal for religious propaganda.

Post the nationwide release of the film, many came in & expressed that the Hindu religion has whitewashed the film on the claim of it being folklore. The term folklore usually represents the natives, but the allegation was that the film was mainly Hindutva propaganda. Even the filmmaker Rishab Shetty was open about the film being a Hindu Dharmic film, which has opened quite controversies on the political front. In light of these events, Rangarajan, the main priest at Chilkur Balaji Temple, came in support of 'Kantara'.

"Art 363 Hindu Deity Rights dispute and eventual victory of Dharma is a real example of the key message of #Kantara movie that Deities take promise given to them seriously and can and will enforce the same and have ability to do so Constitutionally as well. When pre-constitutional status of Deities with rights above Maharajas was changed to below refugees against Thrippadidanam obligation inherited by Bharat...Art 363 Hindu Deity Rights dispute born to enforce agreement real #Kantara moment history of Bharat. Let this real #Kantara moment in thousands of years of our Civilizational history when Deities chose to enforce agreement "modern" constitutional approach of raising Art 363 Hindu Deity Rights dispute and succeeded overcoming obstacles bring about change." posted Rangarajan.
