Supreme Court Grants Relief To Salman Khan After His Last Year Production, Loveyatri

Mumbai: Salman Khan gets a clean chit from the Supreme Court for the complaint against the Loveyatri title. FIR was lodged last year. The title of the movie had met with opposition from some groups who stated it hurt Hindu sentiments as the movie was formerly titled Loveratri.

The objection to the title had started after the release of the trailer of the movie, with Vishwa Hindu Parishad and some other groups demanding that it be changed. A tweet from ANI had also read as follows: “Bihar’s Muzaffarpur Court gives orders to file FIR against Salman Khan and 7 other actors after a complaint was filed by an advocate against him and his production ‘Loveratri’ alleging the title of the film hurts Hindu sentiments.”

The top court had earlier noted that the movie, released on October 5 last year, was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and despite this, an FIR has been registered in Bihar and a criminal complaint is pending in Vadodara in Gujarat.

Following the objections, Salman had said, “Some people, I don’t know who they are, have some problems with the title of the film. It is a beautiful title. There is nothing more beautiful than love, so it is called Loveratri. It is not demeaning any culture. Our prime minister is from that culture. So, when you play a character like I played a Sardar in a film or I played a Haryanvi in Sultan, I do it with a lot of respect. We are making the film with Navaratri in the backdrop. We have made this beautiful film celebrating the music, color, love and the fun of the festive season. We don’t need any publicity like that. Once the film is released those people will know there is nothing.”

The film which was earlier named Loveratri, but was changed to Loveyatri by the producers keeping in mind that earlier names sounded like Navaratri. The movie stars Salman’s brother-in-law Ayush Sharma and Warina Hussain.
