The long-running controversy in the Odia film industry has taken a new turn. What happened between Odia film director Bobby Islam and actor Manoj Mishra in front of the DCP office in Bhubaneswar has created a sensation among the film industry and Odia film audiences. Manoj Mishra and Bobby Islam clashed with each other in front of DCP office of Bhubaneswar. On Friday, the police had called both of them to Bhubaneswar DCP office to resolve the issue which was already going on between each other, but instead of getting resolved, the matter got worse.
There was a fight between the actor and the director over the film
This whole matter is related to the name of a film. Manoj Mishra started expressing his objections regarding the name of that film on different social media platforms. Actually, there is a word in the name of the film, which is considered a curse in Hindi but in Odia language it means widow. Manoj has been demanding for many days to change the name of the film so that people do not know the meaning of the Hindi word used in the Odia film. Recently, director Bobby Islam used that 'controversial word' for Manoj on social media, which enraged Manoj Mishra further and he filed a complaint against director Bobby Islam.
Director received death threats
Bobby Islam also lodged a complaint at Dargah Bazar police station in Cuttack on November 13 that he had received death threats through WhatsApp calls. The caller identified himself as a well-wisher of Manoj Mishra. Bobby said in the complaint that if anything wrong happens to him, Manoj Mishra and his team will be responsible for it. Earlier, on November 12, a complaint was lodged against Manoj Mishra at the Cyber Police Station. This complaint was made by Odisha Film and Television Directors Association regarding Manoj's statements on social media.
Ruckus outside DCP office
It was alleged in the complaint that it was as if Mishra was assassinating the character of artists and directors working in the Odia film industry. He has demanded action against the actor. Yesterday on Friday, when both the parties were called to the DCP office, the atmosphere there became more heated. Bobby Islam again provoked Manoj Mishra after which Manoj Mishra jumped on him. It can be clearly seen in the video that Manoj runs towards him and from behind a police officer angrily holds Lal Manoj tightly. At present the police is investigating the matter and talks are going on with both the parties. This feud remains a topic of discussion in the Odia film industry.
