SS Rajamouli's recent release Baahubali 2, which was the most-awaited Indian film till date, may have impressed millions of people, but it seems that a particular section of the society is so miffed with the film that they have filed a police complaint against the filmmaker.

Members of a group have filed a police complaint against the film in Hyderabad for allegedly showing their community in a bad light and hurting their sentiments by allegedly using a caste slur. According to media reports, the members of the 'Arekatika Porata Samithi' have filed a complaint at the Banjara Hills police station, claiming that they have been offended by a scene in the film, where Kattappa (Sathyaraj) says 'Katika Cheekati'. The group has claimed that Katika is a cast slur and has insulted their community.

In their statement to the police, the complainants have said that the Katika people indulge in the trade of butchery, to sell meat of goats, sheep and hens, to provide healthy food to the society, as part of their livelihood and are not harsh, inhuman and anti-social people as the movie tries to portray them. The group has further alleged that in films, their community members are portrayed as anti-social elements and children in their community face social stigma because of that.

Baahubali 2 starred Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj and many others.
