Director Ali Abbas Zafar's new web show Tandav has landed into controversy for allegedly offending Hindu religious sentiments. A section of Twitter has taken an offence over the show's one particular scene wherein actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays a stage performer appearing as Lord Shiva and is heard saying, "Azaadi, what the...?" They believed that the makers were attempting to "mock" and "target" the Hindu deity, even as they trended #BoycottTandav. Of late, Ayyub, the actor in question, has been subjected to immense online trolling for joining anti-CAA protests and standing by the protesting farmers in Delhi.















Tandav released on Amazon Prime Video on Friday. The show opened to average reviews.

In the show, Saif plays an ambitious, shrewd politician, named Samar Pratap Singh. While Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub plays a progressive student leader Shiva Shekhar who challenges Samar as national politics meets campus activism.

Will our Hindu atheist friends who deliver sermons on "freedom to insult religion" every then and now condemn these intolerant trends run by religious zealots?

While Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub plays a progressive student leader Shiva Shekhar

While that scene should have been avoided it is his political stand in real life as well as his playing a progressive student in the film that is partly responsible for the hate against him.

Another film is hurting the delicate sentiments of the Hindutvadis in the film censor board. It is a Malayalam language film called Varthamanam ( "In the present" ) which has a Muslim woman student from Kerala who goes to Delhi's JNU university to pursue a research about someone.
