Explanation:

The Andhra Pradesh government has banned a 100-year-old play named 'Chintamani Padya Natakam'. The play was written in 1920 by playwright Kallakuri Narayana Rao, who was also a social reformer. 

• The play is about Chintamani, a courtesan and a devotee of Lord Krishna, who finds salvation by singing bhajans. He is courted by Subbi Shetty, a businessman from the Arya Vysya community, who loses his wealth and family due to his attraction to Chintamani. 
• The play is exhibited across the state, mainly in rural areas, during festivals and fairs.

Reason behind this decision

The play has undergone many changes over the decades, and to make it more entertaining and funny, crude and vulgar language is used in many places, drawing the ire of the community.

• Much of the play sees central character Subbi Shetty made fun of, especially for losing all his wealth to his vices.
• Subbi Shetty, who resembles a person of a transgender community, is used to portray the social group in a bad way.

• Obscene dialogues are added to the play in the name of creativity.

Hence option 1st is correct.
