A complaint has been filed here against director Chandra Prakash Dwivedi and actor Sunny Deol of the upcoming movie Mohalla Assi , with a local organisation claiming that “expletives” allegedly used in the film hurt the “religious sentiments” of some sections.
Sarvajan Jagruti Manch, a local organisation, lodged a complaint at Bhelupur police station, alleging that a leaked trailer of the movie was laced with cuss words, which maligned the image of Varanasi and its traditions and “hurts the religious sentiments”.
The organisation along with locals, NGO workers and sadhus also led a protest march against the movie.
Senior Superintendent of Police Jogendra Kumar said: “We have received their complaint but we have not registered an FIR as yet. However we are probing the matter.” - PTI
