Telangana: Ghaati in Trouble Due to Ganja Scenes

Anushka’s upcoming film Ghaati has landed in controversy. The Telangana Eagle Team has objected strongly to certain scenes that show ganja trade.

The team argued that such depictions are unacceptable on screen. They reminded that ganja sale and use are banned in Telangana, and showing them could send a wrong signal to society.

According to representatives, these visuals may negatively influence youth. They warned that the scenes might appear to promote drug use, which could create serious concerns.

The Eagle Team demanded the immediate removal of these sequences. So far, the film’s producers have not issued any response. Their silence has only fueled more speculation.

Observers believe if the issue continues, the Censor Board may intervene before the release. Experts also advised filmmakers to act cautiously, especially at a time when substance abuse is on the rise.

Ghaati, starring Anushka in the lead role, has been promoted as a crime drama. But the focus has now shifted to the disputed drug-related content.

Critics fear the controversy may overshadow the film’s creative aspects. Supporters of the ban insist that movies should not glamorise banned substances.

For now, attention remains on the producers. Their response to the Eagle Team’s objection will decide the film’s fate.

This debate has also raised a wider concern about how films balance artistic freedom with social responsibility.
