== Controversy ==
The film landed in a controversy prior to its release in January 2016, after groups such as Rashtriya Basavadal and Basava Peetha staged demonstrations in [[Dharwad]] calling for its ban. They alleged that the film wrongly depicts the ritual of wearing miniaturized iconographic form of the deity [[Shiva]], the [[Jyotirlinga]]. They claimed that, instead, Ishtalinga should have been depicted.<ref>{{cite web|title=Grave mistakes in Allama; ban movie screening: Basava Peetha|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hubballi/grave-mistakes-in-allama-ban-movie-screening-basava-peetha/articleshow/56786023.cms|work=The Times of India|accessdate=29 January 2017|date=26 January 2017}}</ref> The film shows the worship of [[Lingam]] performed placing it on the devotee's right hand, when they claimed that history states that it was done by keeping it in the left hand. The protesters also said that [[Allama Prabhu]] and [[Akka Mahadevi]] are depicted in the film without wearing the lingam. They claimed that "all these scenes prove that it is a systematic approach to fabricate [[vachana sahitya]]", in a memorandum submitted to the [[Chief Minister of Karnataka]] calling for the film's ban.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ban sought on screening of 'Allama'|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/Ban-sought-on-screening-of-'Allama'/article17095790.ece|work=The Hindu|accessdate=29 January 2017|date=29 January 2017}}</ref>
