Aamir
Khan
and
his
wife,
Kiran
Rao,
were
in
a
very
joyous
mood
when
they
went
to
participate
in
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
a
few
days
back,
and
they
returned
with
much
applause
too
for
Rao"s
directorial
debut
Dhobi
Ghat.
The
film
had
its
international
premiere
at
this
festival.
However,
Rao
needs
to
fight
a
legal
case
now
for
the
title
of
her
movie
Dhobi
Ghat.
Vinod
Kumar
Kanojia,
the
chairman
of
Hindustan
Kanojia
Organisation
of
Dhobis,
has
claimed
that
the
title
of
the
movie
was
a
sign
for
making
caste
division
in
the
dhobi
community.
He
has
appealed
to
the
Delhi
High
Court
asking
for
a
change
of
the
title
before
film
releases
in
theaters.
Kanojia
also
requested
the
censor
board
to
assess
the
film"s
title
in
order
to
avoid
caste
division
in
society.
In
his
petition,
Kanojia
stated
that
the
movie
could
have
opted
for
some
other
title
but
they
have
chosen
the
title
to
hurt
the
feelings
of
the
dhobi
community.
He
added
that
the
community
was
notified
as
the
scheduled
caste
in
the
Indian
Constitution
and
it
is
a
punishable
offence
to
call
any
person
by
its
community
name.
He
further
mentioned
that
the
fundamental
right
of
the
community
is
violated
by
the
film"s
title
and
the
court
must
restrain
it.
Dhobi
Ghat
has
received
high
accolades
in
the
recently
held
Toronto
International
Film
festival
and
all
parties
involved
would
like
a
resolution
to
this
matter
at
the
earliest.
The
case
is
likely
to
be
heard
in
court
on
Wednesday.
Kanojia
alleged
that
the
director
and
producer
of
the
movie
have
used
the
name
of
the
caste
just
to
earn
money
and
it
is
a
very
minor
and
dirty
thinking.
He
said
that
no
one
has
the
right
to
sell
the
name
of
any
caste.
