Social media posts have claimed that thousands of people travelled to Kainchi Dham after watching the biopic drama based on Neem Karoli Baba. However, Chaturvedi did not attribute the entire rush to the film. Instead, he urged visitors to find out about the prevailing conditions before making the journey.
He said, “Kainchi Dham mein bohot bheed hui hai iss waqt aur bohot saare logon ka ye kehna hai ki waha Hanuman Ansh film dekhne ke baad log waha pohonch gaye hai. Yadi aisa hai toh bhi aur yadi aisa nahi hai toh bhi humein sabhi ko waha ki paristithi pata karke hi waha pe jaana chahiye.”
Director Suggests Neem Karoli Village And Vrindavan
With Kainchi Dham reportedly facing heavy footfall, Chaturvedi also pointed devotees towards other places associated with Neem Karoli Baba.
He mentioned Neem Karoli village and Vrindavan as alternatives for those unable to reach Kainchi Dham. His appeal particularly focused on avoiding situations in which families could become caught in severe congestion.
“Aap sabhi se anurodh hai ki aise samay main yadi kainchi dham mein bohot bheed hai aur ghanto ki line lagi hai toh ap in sthaano pe bhi ja sakte hai… Mera aapse anurodh hai ki aisi sthiti na ho paaye aap ke ghar mein bachche, mahilayein jo hai woh waha pe suffocate ho rahi hai, woh jam mein phasi hui hai,” the director added.
