A petition, objecting to a scene showing actor Abhishek Bachchan bashing an advocate in the film “Bol Bachchan”, has been filed in a court here today.
According to Manish Purohit, counsel for the petitioner Mahmood Khan, a scene in the very beginning of the film shows
Abhishek beating up a lawyer, who was incidentally fighting his case in a court.
The scene appeared offensive to Khan and defamatory to the image and prestige of lawyers and the profession of law.
Demanding an immediate drop down of the scene, Khan moved a petition in the court of ACJM, which admitting the petition, has fixed August 4 for the recording of the statements of the petitioner.
Before this, a similar petition was filed against films such as Emraan Hashmi-starrer “Shanghai”, Akshay Kumar-starrer “Rowdy Rathore” and many more terming some scene or songs were offensive to the sentiments of people.
