Arrest warrants issued by a local court in Muzaffarpur on Friday against the cast and crew of the movie " >Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela " are yet to reach the Mumbai police for execution, senior police officials said.

The arrest warrants were issued against director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, producer Kishore Lulla, and the musicians and lyricists of the movie.

SP Singh, the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Muzaffarpur, had directed the Mumbai police to produce them in court on June 4, following their failure to turn up in court after summons were issued in February.

Till Friday evening, there was no reaction from the film fraternity following the breaking of the news, including those named in the complaint. Social media, however, has been abuzz with reactions ranging from sympathy, surprise to suspicion.
