( CNN) The reopening of a controversial Bollywood blockbuster was overshadowed Thursday by menaces of violence from a right wing Hindu fringe group objecting to the movie’s portraying of a mythical Hindu queen.
“The law and order situation is not favorable, ” Deepak Asher, President of the Multiplex Association of India, a local industry association, told CNN.
A number of movie theaters in the Indian countries of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Goa have decided not to play the movie, Asher said.
