Zomato: Hrithik Roshan lands in another controversy

Hrithik Roshan is known for his powerful high-octane action entertainers. Movie lovers are waiting for the release of his film Vikram Vedha, the remake of a Tamil film which is racing for the grand release on September 30. In the midst of all this, Hrithik Roshan is landing in unnecessary controversies following which he is facing the boycott heat. 

Sometime back he came in support of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chadda, terming the film as a must-watch and lavishing praises on it. People who have been voicing their opposition against Laal Singh Chadda trained their guns on Hrithik Roshan and started trending #BoycottVikramVeda film. 

Even before they could die, he landed in another controversy. His commercial endorsing Zomato app landed in a controversy. The commercial showed the pin codes of Ujjain referring to the thalis of Mahakal restaurant. The priests of the famous Makal temple, Ujjain took objection to the ad for hurting the sentiments of the Hindus.  They issued a statement which ran “The Hrithik Roshan starrer ad that ran in specific pin-codes of Ujjain referenced to ‘thalis’ at ‘Mahakal Restaurant and not the revered Shree Mahakaleshwar temple. Mahakal Restaurant is one of our high-order-volume restaurant partners in Ujjain and thali is a recommended item on its menu,”

Zomato quickly acted and took the commercial off air and issued an apology stating "We deeply respect the sentiments of the people of Ujjain and the ad in question is no longer running. We offer our sincerest apologies, for the intent here was never to hurt anyone’s beliefs and sentiments,”
