Latest Photos: Ram Leela Facing Protests And Problems
Since the launch of Ram Leela's official trailer, there have been various controversies and complaints against the movie. This movie which is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This may leave you wondering as to why are Indians pretesting against this film! Read on to know the in depth details of why Ram Leela is trapped in a tussle.
Ram Leela which stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as Ram and Leela respectively is in trouble because it allegedly hurts religious sentiments and is said to cause enmity. Just like how every fire needs a spark for it to begin, Ram Leela's problems too began the same way. Initially it was just a PIL and an FIR filed against the movie. It gradually picked up and is now rolling like fire ball down the hill.
The protests are from the people of the Rajput communities as they claim that Ram Leela will cause enmity between two communities, hurt religious sentiments and depict women in a disrespectful manner. Even before the release of the film, there have been a large number of groups that protested against the release of this film that is set to release on November 16.
