Ajay Katra, who is the petitioner, alleges that there are various scenes in this film which are āaimed and targeted against a political figure of the countryā. This figure has not been named in the petition. The PIL further states that the producers of this movie have painted that unnamed political figure in a bad light and claims to be against the ideology of the countryās oldest political party.
The PIL has its basis in the trailers, posters, and banners of this film.KatraĀ contends in his plea that in the film this unnamed person has been targeted in a way to arouse hate and contempt. It thereby transgresses the right to freedom of expression.
The plea is not only seeking a stay on the release of the movie which was scheduled to hit theatres on October 7 but also demands the deletion of some āoffensive scenesā.
