Case Against Ajay Devgn And Sidharth Malhotra For Hurting Religious Sentiments In 'Thank God'
Another Bollywood movie has run into trouble. Starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra in the lead roles, the trailer of the forthcoming film Thank God has come under the scanner.
A case has been filed against the Bollywood actors for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by mocking the Gods in the movie. Director Indra Kumar has also been named in the complaint.?
The complaint has been filed by advocate Himanshu Srivastava.?He has asked the court to summon the accused people under appropriate sections and punish them.?
The complainant has alleged that Bhagwan Chitragupta has been insulted in the trailer of the movie, and it has hurt religious sentiment.?
He explained that Puranas Bhagwan Chitragupta is considered as the God of Justice who keeps an account of the sins as well as virtues of all human beings. He punishes and rewards them on the basis of their deeds. However, he claimed, his representation in the film, especially showing him using lousy jokes and objectionable words.?
He says "public peace is being disturbed by filming scenes making fun of Gods and Goddesses in films, which is punishable".?
In his petition, Srivastava said that Ajay Devgn, wearing a suit, is seen playing Chitragupta and in one of the scene he is seen cracking jokes and using objectionable language.
"Chitragupta is regarded as the Lord of Karma and keeps a record of a man's good and bad deeds. Such depiction of Gods can create an unpleasant situation since it hurts religious sentiments," the petition said.
The trailer shows Ajay Devgn as Bhagwan Chitragupt in modern attire. The trailer starts with Sidharth's character getting into a car crash and then stepping into the game of life hosted by Chitragupt, essayed by Ajay, who counts all his weaknesses, which eventually decides his fate to go to either hell or heaven.?
The trailer also features Nora Fatehi, who plays an "apsara", to check "vasana" or "lust" in Sidharth.?Ajay is then heard saying, "Parayi aurat ko behen aur maa ki nazar se dekhna chahiye".
Known for his intense dialogue delivery, Ajay also tells Sidharth in the trailer that, "Tum jaante ho insaano ki sabse badhi galti kya hai? Tum bhagwaan ko toh maante ho, lekin bhagwaan ki ek nahi maante."
The petitioner's statement will be recorded on Nov18. Thank God is slated to be released on Oct 25.? ?
