The film is led by the famous Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. On Thursday a court order came on public interest litigation (PIL) wanting to put a ban on the release of the film. The court case has been fixed on February 21.
A bench comprising Justice A.R. Masoodi and Justice N.K. Jauhri passed the order on the PIL moved by Karni Sena’s vice president Sangeeta Singh.
The petition sought a ban on the release of the movie, alleging it was presenting a ‘wrong and vulgar’ picture of Prithviraj, a Hindu emperor, and hence it hurt sentiments.
The petitioner said the preview of the movie ‘Prithviraj’ itself shows that it is controversial.
