Go Goa Gone: Goa govt to take action against the film
Saif Ali Khan in 'Go Goa Gone' More Pics

The Goa government decided to take action against Saif Ali Khan's Go Goa Gone for violating the Cigarette Smoking Act and for allegedly 'defaming' the coastal state in the movie.

The violations were brought to the notice of the State Legislative Assembly by BJP Legislator Pramod Sawant, who claimed that the film defamed the state.

"This is one of the instances wherein the filmmaker has been misusing Goa's name," Sawant said.

The legislator also pointed out that the one of the posters showed Khan puffing cigarettes which violated the anti-tobacco law.

"NGO National Organization for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) has already issued notice to the filmmakers (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D K) and the actor," he said.

Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar responding to the Zero Hour mention by Sawant assured to take action on the matter.

"Give me all the details, I will take action," he said.

The movie which is India's first zomcom features Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari and Puja Gupta.

Can't they take action against cigar manufacturing companies instead? What a joke

Actually I am surprised that they woke up so late. The title of the film Go Goa Gone plays on Goa Tourism's tagline Go Goa. Obviously adding gone to that tagline wouldnt please the tourism dept or the Govt of Goa. The smoking bit is a different issue.

Because zombies are a legit threat to Goa tourism and should be taken seriously.

Somebody show them dum maro dum. I would much prefer to live in the bhai's infested Mumbai of the early 90's than the Goa that was shown in DMD.
