Supreme Court dismisses plea to ban Aamir Khan's PK poster
Aamir Khan's 'PK' poster has been in the news for the wrong reasons. The First Look poster created quite a stir thanks to the almost nude image of Aamir Khan, whose modesty was saved by a transistor. The poster received mixed response from the audience.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) had been filed against Aamir Khan and the director of the film Rajkumar Hirani seeking a ban on the exhibition of the poster. However, Supreme court dismissed the Public Interest Litigation. Dismissing the plea, the apex court told the petitioner, "If you don't like then don't watch the film but don't bring religious facets in it", adding that, "these are matters of art and entertainment and let them remain so."
The petition, filed by All India Human Rights and Social Justice Front on Wednesday, alleged that the film promotes nudity and pleaded the apex court to immediately intervene in the matter.
PK directed by Rajkumar Hirani is slated for release on December 19, 2014. The film also features Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt.
