The Sainiks are annoyed with the posters which they find highly vulgar and derogatory. The party has forced the film’s producer to pull down publicity posters in Lower Parel and Borivali. In an angry protest, the Sainkis burned posters of the movie at Mahim, claiming that they were offensive.
Producer Aditya Bhatia says, "My outdoor publicist called up to say that Shiv Sainiks made him pull down the hoarding. They found Poonam's posture offensive. But my publicity stills have been approved by the Western India Film Producers' Association. So, I am not going to pull the other hoardings down. I am even thinking of filing a complaint against the Sainiks."
Bhatia adds, "I am a responsible citizen. If I think the posters are objectionable, I would pull them down myself. Maybe I will keep them away from children's view."
Says Akshay Bardapurkar, the general secretary of Shiv Sena Chitrapat Sena, "We find the poster highly vulgar and derogatory and won't allow such hoardings. We are trying to pull down hoardings all across the city."
Poonam sure knows how to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
