A local court in Muzaffarpur (Bihar) on Friday issued arrest warrants against Ram Leela director -producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, actors Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh in connection with a case alleging that few scenes in the movie hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus.
Warrants were also issued against another producer Kishore Lulla, as well as the musicians and lyricists of the movie.
Issuing the arrest warrants, Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) SP Singh directed Mumbai Police Commissioner to arrest the persons concerned and produce them at his court on June 4.
These warrants were issued based on a complaint case under various sections of the IPC filed by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in November last year which alleged that few scenes in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court had stopped the release of the movie till November 22, 2013 but it was released here on November 12 itself.
The CJM took cognisance of the case on February 14 this year and summoned the actors and the director, who did not turn up following which today the warrants were issued.
Ridiculous beyond belief…!
Cinema is an art form- forum for expressing ideas- enacting characters- politics and religious/ cultural/ societal values can not and Must Not interfere with this art form…!
But what is the fault of Ramleela’s actors ,musicians and lyricist in this case….
itz vry unfortunate…
what this nonsense for a movie there’s notice while the people who have filed this case r mad
Feeling sorry foh dem.. N couldnt agree more wid ”navin uncle”
they havnt done anything wrong or if they hav it was purely unintentional…
Howeva there are some ppl in the industry who quite willingly hurt the sentiments of religious communities and are neva being objected.
Datz wat our incredible india is
its bcoz of such moronic fools n idiots that we have to practice conservative cinema.. Me as a devout Hindu was neither offended nor felt bad during any scene of the movie!! and our beliefs n centiments are not so weak that a movie can offend them!! idiotic stuff to the core! bloody limelight hogging publicity seeking rubbish fool
These guys r really so stupid !
Why only musicians and lyricists. Sent warrant against cameramen, spot boys also.
Also critics who gave good reviews to Ram Leela should be sent arrest warrants. Also sent arrest warrants to Censor Board people who approved it.
Also send arrest warrants to Hrithik and Aishwarya who acted in previous SLB film Guzaarish.
Get a life guys take your stuff back ! The movie has been released ages ago now!
why are u doing this ? Obviously to try to get money if u guys win the case . Instead, get a job
Why not some1 filled a case against sunny leone.
Pure publicity stunt by the lawyer ! Nothing new in India , poeple can do anything to get their name in spot light.
Why blame the guy who complained, when we have educated guys sitting in high position who pass such orders?
Jai Ho India!!!!!
just cant believe that Judges in the court are so stupid…
On what basis they have become a judge in a court.. should have minimum common sense…
what about when vishwaroopam was insulting ISLAM in depicting as a violent religion and people protested and didnt a court issue…..this Indian are similar to western countries being an anti Islam….
