The poster for Indian filmmaker Leena Manimekalai's documentary 'Kali,' dubbed an attack on the Hindu religion, has sparked outrage on social media. The release of the poster is said to have insulted Maa Kali. Many netizens have tagged the police and the Union Home Ministry, demanding that those responsible be held accountable. On July 2, 2022, the contentious poster was unveiled (Saturday). How did the controversy start? Leena herself shared the poster for it. The contentious poster depicts a woman in the four-armed form of Maa Kali. Tilak is applied to the forehead, and a trident and other weapons are held in the hands. One hand is holding a cigarette, which is attached to the mouth. On the other hand, there is an LGBTQ flag.
