Allahabad High Court issues notice to Adipurush dialogue writer

The Hindu  

The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday came down heavily on the makers of the film Adipurushand said that the tolerance of a particular community was being put to the test by them. Slamming the makers for portraying the characters of Lord Rama, Hanuman and Sita in a “vulgar” and “objectionable” manner, the court orally observed that “religious scriptures, which are associated with public sentiment, should not be touched or encroached upon”. While hearing a couple of public interest litigation petitions filed against the film, the Bench of Justices Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Shree Prakash Singh remarked that the Central Board of Film Certification should have considered the “religious importance” of the film before granting the certification. Advocate Ranjana Agnihotri, counsel for one of the petitioners, told The Hindu that the court had allowed the application seeking to implead Manoj Muntashir Shukla, the dialogue writer of the film, as party respondent and it had directed the issuance of notice to him.
