Gaurav,
You didn't give us enough information about your scenario? Are you using FR
between R2 R1 and R3 with R2 as a hub?
If this is the case, this behavior is expected since multicast cannot be
send back on the same interface it was received (i am talking here about
R2).
There is one exception to this: if you have sparse-mode and "nbma-mode"
option configured under that specific interface.
Best regards,
George
