"Ek Thi Daayan" is an upcoming Bollywood horror film directed by Kannan Iyer. The film features Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Huma Qureshi and Kalki Koechlin. The Emraan Hashmi starrer has got into bad books of Kolkata based self proclaimed Wiccan priestess, author and social activist Ipsita Roy Chakraverti. It happened so, as a part of the movie promotional campaign, Ekta had invited Ipsita. However Ipsita refused the invitation as a mark of protest for showcasing witches in poor light and also took the matters to President Pranab Mukherjee.
According to sources, Ipsita in a petition to Mukherjee convinced him to refer the matter to the National Women's Commission chief Mamta Sharma. In her view, she was unhappy with the way women are portrayed in "Ek Thi Daayan" and it will not only induce more violence against them but also further witch hunts which still exists in rural areas. "I reasoned that the portrayal of witches in the film supports the age-old prejudice of burning women after branding them as witches,".
On the other hand, Ekta Kapoor, who is known for her head-strong personality, said that her movie is an art and she is in no way degrading women. For the time being, the makers of "Ek Thi Daayan" are stopped to make any comment unless they get an official statement from the Commission.
