Aashram Season 3, directed and produced by Prakash Jha, is set to return on MX Player on June 3. The political crime drama is another much-awaited series after experiencing two successful seasons. The show stars Bobby Deol in the lead as a self-proclaimed godman, Baba Nirala. In the third chapter, he wants to be Bhagwan Nirala revealing more of his shades in the garb of a popular cult trying to hide his illicit activities. Talking to the media, filmmaker Prakash Jha recalled being attacked on the sets of Aashram Season 3.
During the shoot of the third installment of the show, Bajrang Dal attacked the sets of Aashram in Bhopal. They believed the show apparently portrays Hindus in a wrong way and has managed to hurt religious sentiments. It is reported that Bajrang Dal activists created a ruckus on the sets, and manhandled the crew in order to stop the shooting. Allegedly, they pelted stones and damaged the windscreens of two busses at Bhopal’s Arera Hills. However, unfortunately, no arrests were made when the police arrived at the incident spot.
Prakash Jha Attacked On Sets Of Aashram Season 3:
Director of Aashram, Prakash Jha was asked in an interview: “Last year when you were making series you were attacked, was there any point that as a filmmaker you felt angry that your voice is being suppressed or at any point that incident made you alter the storyline of the series any which way.”
Prakash Jha answered: “It was only a one-hour kind of a show, some guys came and did a lot on the set, and they broke some glasses or something of that sort. They were shouting something which we couldn’t understand, they made a hem and went away. It exactly took one hour and everything was taken care of. Within an hour we went back to shoot, continued, and finished the schedule of that day.”
The story doesn’t end here, check out the video to know about it in detail.
