Pune: Zee Televison has decided not to telecast the controversial play Kaka Mala Wachwa scripted by well-known playwright Srirang Godbole.
The decision came after a group of 50 Shiv Sainiks attacked the Pune residence of the Marathi playwrite.
The Sainiks were angered by Godbole's spoof on Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray's life, staged during Zee Marathi's award function last evening.
Kaka Mala Wachwa (Uncle Save Me) is believed to be borowed from Thackeray's life and his relationship with his beleagured nephew Raj Thackeray.
Shiv Sainiks attacked Zee TV's office a few days ago and warned that the play should not be staged or telecast.
Interestingly, Srirang Godbole was a columnist in Samna the Shiv Sena mouthpiece and has also composed campaign jingles for the party.
