NEW DELHI: A Delhi Court on Monday ordered to continue the stay on the release of movie ‘Mohalla Assi’ till August 25.
A local court in Muzaffarpur had earlier this month asked the police to lodge an FIR against film actors Sunny Deol, Ravi Kishan, Sakshi Tanwar and six others for allegedly abusing Hindu gods in their film.
The movie, which has not been released at the cinema houses following the orders of a Delhi Court, has scenes where in Lord Shiva, goddesses and pandas of Kashi are being called by names.
The film is a satire on the commercialisation of the pilgrimage city of Varanasi and the fake gurus who lure the foreign tourists.
