MNS leader alleges dialogue of Anand Dighe passing over Hindutva baton to Raj Thackeray muted in film

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Ameya Khopkar has tweeted a portion of the film 'Dharmaveer', which is based on the life of late Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe, who was also the mentor of rebel Eknath Shinde.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader and Head of its Cinema Wing, Ameya Khopkar has tweeted a portion of the film 'Dharmaveer', which is based on the life of late Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe, who was also the mentor of rebel Eknath Shinde.

In the video put out in the tweet, the actor portraying the role of Raj Thackeray can be seen having a conversation with Dighe’s character, who is hospitalised after a fatal accident, saying that the propagation of Hindutva ideology is still left to reach places. How can you be in bed like this? To which Dighe’s character replies that this responsibility now lies on your (Raj Thackeray’s) shoulders.

Through the tweet, Ameya Khopkar raised objections and alleged that Anand Dighe's dialogue of him passing on Hindutva's baton to Raj Thackeray has been muted in the film being played on one OTT platform. Khopkar questioned the motive behind this particular dialogue being muted.

However, the timing of the tweet and raising this issue has raised eyebrows because reports are rife of the Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde contacting Raj Thackeray, after parting ways with Uddhav Thackeray.
