He has also alleged that the film has a scene where actor Jai, who plays Nayanthara’s love interest, says that Lord Ram is a meat eater, which is contrary to the Hindu scriptures.

The events unfolded on Sunday were unanticipated and had caused tremors in the state, particularly to the inner circle of Sharad Pawar. 

Moments after Shinde took over the baton, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated him. Taking to Twitter, Modi wrote, "I would like to congratulate Shri Eknath Shinde Ji on taking oath as Maharashtra CM." 

When Fadnavis was asked to take over the baton as the next Chief Minister, he had refused to accept the offer and affirmed that he will stay out of the government. 

The surprise development has drawn huge attention and with the backing from the BJP MLAs, Shinde is all set to become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the first time.
