After being boycotted from, Rajasthan, Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar faced a huge trouble in other parts of the country as well which includes Delhi, Gujarat and Bihar, where screening of the film was interrupted by the Rajput community.
Protesting outside PVR cinemas which led to momentarily stopping of the screening of the film, the community was also seen by pulling out the posters of the film. A small Rajput community named Pratap Sena damaged a theatre in Naroda area in Ahmedabad and thus, invited police to have a control of the situation.
President of Multiplex Owners' Association, Manubhai Patel, informed that the protest of around 25 people warning against the screening of the film compelled them to stop the screening temporarily. Also, stressing on the point that film being just a fictional story would hopefully resume by Monday that is today. On the contrary, the leader of VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad), Parvin Togadia, was seen supporting the point of distortions of facts made by Rajput community.
Apart from this community, the student's Union group in Patna called out their protest against the film in Patna.
