Komaram Bheem's grandson warns SS Rajamouli of 'protest' against Jr NTR's look in 'RRR'

SS Rajamouli’s upcoming magnum opus, RRR has now landed in troubled waters, as actor Jr NTR’s look as the revolutionary tribal leader, Komaram Bheem has triggered a furore on social media, as the actor was seen donning a skull cap in the film's poster. Recently, in a viral video, Komaram Bheem’s grandson Sone Rao pointed out the loophole in the poster and mentioned that representing their ‘hero’ as a person from the minority community member is nothing but a 'distortion'. Rao added that the film has offended the community and he further requested Rajamouli to withdraw the Jr NTR’s Muslim get-up.
