'Valmiki Ki Bandook' the title of filmmaker's next apparently has hurt the sentiments of the Valmiki community in Punjab

Close on the heels of courting trouble for his latest biopic Paan Singh Tomar, director Tigmanshu Dhulia's next titled Valmiki Ki Bandook that marks the directorial debut of his assistant, Karan Butani, has now kicked off a storm.

Apparently, the title of the Jimmy Shergill starrer has offended the sentiments of the Valmiki community in Punjab.

Our source informs, "After reading an article on the film in a local paper, the Valmiki community reacted very strongly and made calls to Jimmy Shergill and Tigmanshu Dhulia (the creative director) to change the title.

A senior officer from Punjab police called up Jimmy and told him that the situation is very sensitive and if they don't change the title or issue a clarification it can lead to riots in Punjab."

Confirming the incident, Shergill says, "The film has got nothing to do with Sant Valmiki or the community. Valmiki happens to be my surname in the film.

The title could also be Shergill Ki Bandook. It's a coming-of-age story. My director has assured them that we have no intention to hurt anyone's sentiments.

He is going to give them in writing that it has got nothing to do with them and if need be he will also change the title, " and adds, "I have great regards for the sant."
