New Delhi, March 5: Members of Haryana-based Valmiki Samaj have expressed resentment over the title of Jimmy Shergill-starrer "Valmiki Ki Bandook". However, the film's director Karan Butani says the film has nothing to do with lord Valmiki, and they are ready to alter the title if the need arises.
"We happened to read an article about this new film in the papers, and we didn't like the name of the film," Raj Kumar, general secretary of Valmiki Samaj, told Ians over phone from Haryana.
"Valmiki is our guru, we worship him. He wrote the great Ramayana... so how can one associate something like a 'bandook' (gun) with his name..
