On Tuesday, Swami Divyanand Maharaj had raised objection over the scenes of in 'Tandav'. He had reportedly threatened that "Tandav" (violence) will be witnessed in Ranchi if the objectionable scenes are not removed.

"On a regular basis they make a mockery of Hindu culture in movies. The Sadhus and Pandits are shown as comed. The gods and goddesses' original shape are changed in movies. Hindu society is hurt by such acts," said Divyanand Maharaj said.
