NCP MP, who played Godse, under fire
The Hindu
His party colleague warns of protest against film
Playing Nathuram Godse in a movie called ‘Why I killed Gandhi’ has landed Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) Lok Sabha MP and actor Amol Kolhe in trouble after his party colleague and Maharashtra Minister Jitendra Awhad has warned of protest against the film.
Mr. Kolhe, who is best known for playing the character of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in a Marathi television serial has portrayed Godse in a movie that is set to release on January 30 on an OTT platform. The trailer of the film was released recently.
“It is clear that Amol Kolhe has played Nathuram Godse in the movie. Even though he is an actor, the film is nothing but glorification of Godse. One cannot support the murder of Mahatma Gandhi under the garb of being an actor,” said Mr. Awhad.
