NCP leader Jitendra Awhad threatens 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' director for distorting facts

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Jitendra Awhad on Wednesday posted a controversial tweet regarding Ajay Devgn's upcoming period film 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior'.

In his tweet, Awhad has threatened the film's director Om Raut for distorting the history. The NCP leader said that he has seen the trailer of the film and it shows that wrong historical facts have been added in the film. Awhad asked Raut to make the necessary changes or else he will take action over this matter. The NCP MLA said that if the director will consider his demand as a threat then he is free to do so.

ओम राऊत तुमच्या तान्हाजी चित्रपटाचा ट्रेलर पाहिला , त्यामध्ये काही प्रसंगात तुम्ही ज्या अनैतिहासिक आणि चुकीच्या गोष्टी घुसडल्या आहेत त्यामध्ये लवकरात लवकर बदल करा अन्यथा यामध्ये मला माझ्या पद्धतीने लक्ष घालावे लागेल.
याला धमकी समजली तरी चालेल.#TanhajiTrailer @omraut — Dr.Jitendra Awhad (@Awhadspeaks) November 20, 2019
