": Delhi High Court refuses urgent listing of case by Hindu Sena to ban movie Adipurush"( there no chance to ban Adipurush movie)

Hanuman and Ravan have been depicted in an inaccurate manner and their description in the film is contrary to what is described in the epic Ramayana.

The petition said that depiction of characters like Ravana, played by Saif Ali Khan, is completely detached from ‘Indian civilisation’ and his bearded look is “hurting the sentiments of Hindu community as the Hindu Brahmin Ravana is shown making ghastly (sic) in a wrong manner”.

"Since these are essentially religious leaders/characters, the film makers, producers, and actors cannot be permitted to take an unimpeded creative liberty to commercialize the religious leaders/characters, their faces, personalities and looks including hair. This is a sheer violation of religious rights under Article 25 of the Constitution of India,” the petition said.

It further argued that Hindus have a particular view of the image of Ram, Sita and Hanuman and any change/tampering with these images by film producers, directors and actors would be a violation of their fundament rights.

Therefore, such feature films should not be permitted for public exhibition until corrective measures are taken by the film producers and directors, the petition demanded.
