Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bharat is one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie is just a few days away from its release and there’s a PIL filed in Delhi High Court seeking a change in the title of the film. The petitioner, Vikas Tyagi feels that the Salman Khan starrer is “distorting the culture and political image of our great country ‘Bharat’.”
Vikas in his plea has mentioned that according to Section 3 of Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, the word ‘Bharat’ cannot be used for the commercial purpose. He also wants one of the dialogues in the film to be changed where the character is compared to the country.
Vikas said, “This film is fraught with Salman’s typical flippancy and vulgarity. Being a ‘Bharatiya’, I feel it is not appropriate to name such film or any character associated with this film after our great nation.”
We wonder if because of this PIL the movie will face any issue in the release.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bharat also stars Disha Patani, Sunil Grover, Nora Fatehi, Jackie Shroff and Sonali Kulkarni. It will hit the screens on 5th June 2019.
