“NCP protested and went on a hunger strike demanding a ban on the Chhaava movie.”
What FACTLY found
The viral photo is unrelated to the Chhaava movie released in February 2025. It shows a 2013 protest by the NCP Minority Division, Aurangabad, against the Bollywood film Aurangzeb. Multiple posts from 2013 confirm that the photo is old. There are no reports of the NCP staging protests or a hunger strike against ‘Chhaava’.
