A
court
in
Mumbai

the
police
to
lodge
an
FIR
against
actor
Salman
Khan
and
the
cast
and
crew
of
upcoming
Bollywood
film
Loveratri
on
the
basis
of
a
complaint
that
the
title
and
contents
of
the
movie
had
hurt
the
Hindu
sentiments.
Sub
Divisional
Judicial
Magistrate
(East)
Shailendra
Rai
directed
the
Mithanpura
police
station
in
the
town
to
lodge
an
FIR,
based
on
a
complaint
filed
in
the
court
by
advocate
Sudhir
Kumar
Ojha.
Ojha
has
taken
exception
to
the
title
of
the
film,
alleging
that
it
is
meant
to
make
fun
of
the
holy
festival
of
Navaratri.
He
has
also
claimed
that
he
film's
scheduled
release
on
October
5
is
likely
to
hurt
the
Hindu
sentiments.
In
his
complaint,
in
which
Khan,
who
is
the
producer
of
the
film,
its
director
and
actors
have
been
made
parties,
Ojha
has
claimed
that
he
has
watched
the
promos
of
the
film
and
they
contained
a
lot
of
vulgarity.
The
complaint
was
lodged
before
the
court
last
week
under
IPC
sections
295
(injuring
or
defiling
place
of
worship
with
intent
to

the
