Saif sued for saying Ravan was kind-hearted

Saif sued for saying Ravan was kind-hearted

A lawyer moved a court in Jaunpur, UP, on Wednesday seeking the registration of a case against Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan for allegedly hurting religious sentiments in an interview over his upcoming movie, Adipurush.

Petitioner Himanshu Shrivastava alleged that Khan termed demon king Ravan as dayalu (kind-hearted) person and justified his battle with Lord Ram as his brother Lakshman had cut the nose of Ravan's sister.

Khan justified the abduction of Sita and tried to malign her image, the plea said. According to the petition, Khan in the interview on December 6 said "Adipurush will make Ravan humane".

His statement has hurt religious sentiments, Shrivastava said in the plea, seeking registration of an FIR against Khan, film director Om Raut and others under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (V) fixed December 23 as the next date of hearing. Khan will play the antagonist Lankesh, based on Ravan in the Om Raut directorial Adipurush, which is the screen adaptation of the Ramayana. South Indian star Prabhas will be seen in a role inspired by Lord Ram. After his criticism, Khan had apologised and withdrawn his statement. PTI

😔

You can sued for any BS reason these days 😆

This will only provide more oxygen to psuedo-intellecual Saif's ill-informed statement.

If these people have so much extra time to kill they should just join India-forums like us. I don't understand how people are so illogical.

Saif openly does anti Pakistan film - no problem

Saif has talked about how he admires Salman Rushdie (author openly criticism of Islam) and reads his books - no problem

Saif summarizes the plot of a film interpreting Raavan - he's anti-national, gets sued.

Lanka banane se pehle hi lanka jalne lagi🤣 I knew this was coming, no surprises, humne offense lena ka theka le rakha hai😆

Which one? Agent Vinod?

Terrorists in Pakistan are a reality, Accepting the reality doesn't make him anti-Pak. Supporting the victim of death threats and fatwas also isn't wrong.

But he justified the ABDUCTION OF A WOMAN FOR SEXUAL PURPOSES, and that is wrong.

Despite him apologising already? Yeh zaabardasti ka offence lena naya trend hai? 😆

India has become a hindu taliban nation, really everyone should be scared of saying anything now. I really hope once this government goes, this is the last we have seen of hindu nationalists. Instead of becoming modern, India is going backwards

So now people can't even have opinion on fictional characters?
