A petition was filed in the Delhi High Court on September 9 seeking a ban on the release of director Homi Adajania's new movie Finding Fanny starring Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor, over the use of "vulgar" word 'fanny'.
The public interest litigation (PIL) also challenged the UA certificate given to Finding Fanny, which is scheduled to release on September 12. The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapoor.
The plea would come up for hearing on September 10 before a division bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice R.S Endlaw. The PIL filed by Nandini Tiwari and NGO Jai Jagriti Foundation through their lawyer Abhishek Krishna said the word "fanny" was a slang and should be removed from the movie, its songs, posters and banners.

Ms Tiwari, mother of a four-year-old, said allowing such words in films and television will pollute children's minds.
The plea was filed against the information and broadcasting ministry, the film's producer, director and actors.
