Best part in Kamal Hasan’s multi faceted ‘Dasavatharam’ is the starting portions wherein Shaiva-Vaishnava rivalry in Hindu religion is showcased so realistically. Yes, there was a time when Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu followers used to indulge in ugly wars, most specifically in South Indian territories.
Looks like Allu Arjun’s ‘DJ - Duvvada Jagannadham’ got struck in a similar Shaiva-Vaishnava controversy while the team is shooting at Beluru Chennakesava Swamy temple in Karnataka. Troubles bruised when DJ team erected huge sets of Lord Shiva within the temple location to shoot crucial sequences.
Raising the religious and traditional differences between Shiva-Vaishnava cults, locals in the temple town forced DJ unit members to stop the shoot immediately before they further hurt Vaishnavite sentiments. Despite, the production team took necessary permission from Endowment Department agreeing to pay Rs. 1.5 Lakh per day in using temple premises, shooting is reportedly stalled. Let’s hope that the issue ends here once for all.
