AMRITSAR – The SGPC has decided to initiate legal action against the makers of recently released Bollywood movie ‘Manmarziyaan’, in which a Sikh girl (played by Taapsee Pannu) is shown smoking.
Demanding an immediate ban on the screening of the film, SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal said a legal notice would be sent to the director and producer for hurting Sikh sentiments.
He said such blunders could have been prevented, had there been a Sikh representative on the Central Board of Film Certification. Aanand L Rai production ‘Manmarziyaan’, which also stars Abhishek Bachchan, is directed by Anurag Kashyap.
