In a poster purportedly to be that of his upcoming movie 'Mr. Kanhaiya,' Papu was seen holding seven girls on leash with a rope tied to their necks. Such a depiction was condemned by several cine critics and other social activists in the State.
Social activist, Linkan Subudhi had filed a written complaint at Mahila Police Station in Bhubaneswar, demanding action against the actor, producer and director of the movie. However, Ramesh Rout, the director of the film had clarified that the poster was not the official poster of the movie and some fans must have released it.
