No place for Charlie Chaplin on Karnataka beach

Hindu activists allegedly objected to a statue being put up of Charlie Chaplin in Udupi - the reason - it was too close to a temple and would hurt Hindu feelings.

A 67-feet world's tallest statue of Charlie Chaplin was supposed to be installed near this scenic Maravanthe beach by a film director for his film shooting. The filmmaker wanted to leave it as a permanent tourist attraction. However, the local self-proclaimed Hindu activists have literally thrown mud on the plan.
