Uttar Pradesh’s ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ controversy ropes in unrelated celebrity Mridual Tiwari, prompting a scathing social media rebuttal from the YouTuber and Bigg Boss 19 alum. Targeted due to sister Prakati Tiwari’s involvement, he demands an end to baseless dragging of his reputation.
Community outrage in areas like Sambhal and Gunnour accuses the movie of harmful stereotyping via its title and plot. Legal actions include FIRs on producer Sandeep Tomar, director Ankit Bhadana, and actors, coupled with ultimatums to exhibitors and symbolic poster burnings.
In his post, Mridual clarified: ‘Not produced by me, can’t alter the name—I’ve stated this publicly multiple times. Reasoning with the ignorant is wasted effort.’ He affirmed commitment to societal harmony, supporting name changes if they appease protesters.
This unfolding drama illustrates cinema’s vulnerability to cultural protests in polarized times. Online threats underscore risks of fame by association, compelling public figures to defend personal boundaries vocally.
As tensions mount, the film’s fate teeters, possibly prompting industry-wide reflections on sensitive naming. Mridual’s appeal for facts over fury could foster calmer discourse, though entrenched positions suggest prolonged strife ahead.
