In Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho, Kapri narrates the story of a man who is falsely accused by a village strongman that he has raped a buffalo. The powerful man of the village also gets the Khap panchayat to pass a verdict that he has to marry the victim, the buffalo called Miss Tanakpur. Vinod Kapri says, “It was simply an honour for me to have them for the screening of my movie that are inspired by some real events.”
Recently Vinod Kapri had requested for police protection after death threat from Khap panchayat in UP. The Ahlawat khap panchayat in Uttar Pradesh has announced a reward of 51 buffaloes to anyone who beheads the filmmaker.
