Uttar
Pradesh
chief
minister
Akhilesh
Yadav
was
on
Monday
petitioned
against
the
soon-to-be
released
Bollywood
film
Goliyon
Ki
Raasleela
Ram
Leela.
In
her
representation
made
to
Yadav,
social
activist
Urvashi
Sharma
has
urged
him
to
"intervene
in
the
matter
related
to
public
exhibition
of
the
film".
"I
have
urged
the
chief
minister
to
intervene
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
the
state
and
request
the
producers
of
the
film
to
delete
Ram
Leela
from
the
title
of
the
film
and
change
it
to
only
Goliyon
Ki
Raasleela," Sharma
said.
"And
also
urge
the
National
Board
of
Film
Ceritification
not
grant
certificate
for
public
exhibition
of
the
film
under
Sections
4,
5
and
5-A
of
the
Cinematograph
Act,
1952,
in
case
producer
and
director
of
the
film
do
not
delete
words
Ram
Leela
from
the
title
of
the
film.
"This
matter
is
related
to
the
sentiments
of
lakhs
of
people
of
the
state
and
the
word
Ram
Leela
is
contrary
to
the
content
of
the
film
as
shown
in
the
promotional
advertisement," added
Sharma.
The
petition
to
the
chief
minister
states
that
the
film
"was
affecting
the
sentiments
of
the
public
on
account
of
its
wrongful
title
for
the
reason
that
the
title
has
been
derived
from
dramatic
enactment
of
the
life
of
Lord
Rama,
which
cannot
be
used
by
the
kind
of
film."
"I
have
watched
one
of
the
promos
of
the
film
on
YouTube
and
while
watching
the
clip,
many
objectionable
dialogues
and
scenes
were
noticed
by
me
which,
according
to
me
as
a
social
activist,
are
not
only
vulgar,
rude,
offensive
and
crude
but
degrade
the
religious
feeling
of
the
Hindus," Sharma
said.
The
social
activist
has
earlier
even
petitioned
both
the
censor
board
and
the
Prime
Minister's
Office
to
intervene
in
this
matter.
