Advocate Pawan Sharma filed a complaint in the court that the film's promo indicates that the film will promote enmity and hatred between different groups on the ground of religion. The court took cognizance of the complaint and asked Shyam Nagar police station to register a case. Besides filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have also been booked.
Off late, a lot of movies are facing the ire of the advocates. The reason that can be attributed to it may be cheap publicity or even genuine public interest as the movies really affect the psyche of the masses.
An official statement from the publicists of Ramleela on this issue is keenly awaited!
