‘Bhavai’ Trailer: Here’s Why #ArrestPratikGandhi Is Trending On Twitter

The trailer of 'Bhavai' (earlier titled Ravan Leela) was released earlier this month and soon after, it received flak for its title on social media. Read on.

New Delhi: Gujarati actor Pratik Gandhi gained recognition when he featured in a lead role in Hansal Mehta’s popular web series ‘Scam 1992’. He played the titular character of Harshad Mehta and garnered lots of appreciation for his performance in the series.

Ever since the web series premiered, fans have been eagerly waiting for his next project. Last year, Pratik Gandhi announced his first Hindi feature film as a lead actor - ‘Bhavai’, which was earlier titled ‘Ravan Leela’. The trailer of the film was released earlier this month and soon after, it received flak for the title on social media as a section of the people felt that it hurt religious sentiments. The makers changed the title of the film to refrain from further controversies.

However, it seems more trouble is brewing up for the team of ‘Bhavai’ as netizens started trending #arrestpratikgandhi, #banravanleela_bhavai on Twitter, as a section of viewers still feel that the trailer is hurting the religious sentiments. Take a look at some of the tweets here:

Earlier, while giving an interview to PTI, Pratik Gandhi clarified that the movie does not glorify Ravan. He told PTI, “We aren't showing any interpretation of Ram or Ravan in the film. The film is not at all about it. That's why the team thought that if sentiments of a certain section of the society are hurt, we don't mind changing the name if that satisfies them. But I'm sure that's not the answer to the broader question. We changed the name, but will that solve anything?”

‘Bhavai’ is all set to release in theatres on October 1, 2021.

Meanwhile, other than ‘Bhavai’, Pratik Gandhi will also be seen featuring in ‘Dedh Bigha Zameen’.
