Kathmandu. An item song of the film 'Paanch Pandav', which was released recently, has sparked a controversy on social media. The audience has opposed it saying that the plot of the film and the presentation of the characters attack Sanatan religion and culture. The film's lead actor Harivansh Acharya is the main target of this controversy. In the film, Harivansh plays the role of Yudhisthira. )
In the video of the song 'Raja Chahiya Ch', Eva Giri, who plays the role of Draupadi, can be seen performing an item dance. Also, Harivansh along with Mahesh Tripathi, Jitu Nepal, Aryan Sigdel and Sushil Sitaula can be seen in the song.
However, in the video of the song, Draupadi is seen doing item dances in bars and restaurants in semi-naked clothes. In the Mahabharata, Draupadi, a stunning woman who did not accept Duryodhana's slavery, and who was supported by Krishna to protect her husband's honor and identity, has been outraged by the fact that this presentation of Draupadi is a game against eternal faith. Similarly, many people have raised moral questions saying that it is not proper for an intelligent and experienced personality like Harivansh, who has contributed invaluable to the field of Nepali art and comedy for decades, to act in a film with controversial content.
