As still from Ram-Leela
Mumbai:
The box office loves Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's new film Ram-Leela but there's more legal trouble in store for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed movie.
Today, the Bombay High court has ordered Mr Bhansali, the Censor Board, distributors Eros International, and producer Kishore Lulla to file affidavits in court to explain why and how the film was granted a certificate for exhibition.
An organization called Maharashtra Ram Leela Mandal has objected to the title of the film. They claim that the film portrays violence and sex and that the name Ram Leela, which is associated with the life of Lord Rama, hurts religious sentiment.
The makers and distributors of the film claim they have followed all the guidelines under the Cinematograph act but the petitioner, Sandeep Shukla claims they have not.
The case will be heard next on 27th November.
The film released across India on November 15, 2013, under the title Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, after a stay order by the Delhi High Court was lifted.
