John Abraham’s ‘Satyameva Jayate’ lands in a legal soup

It has been only a few days since the trailer of John Abraham’s ‘Satyameva Jayate‘ released, and the film has already found itself in a controversy. Just like his previous movie, Abraham’s this venture too has come under the scanner of a BJP leader for a reason. In the complaint filed by BJP Minority Morcha’s city general secretary, Syed Ali Jaffry has said that the trailer of the film hurts religious sentiments.

Jaffry has filed the complained with Hyderabad police and has stated that the trailer has not only hurt him but the entire Shia community. A lawyer close to Mirro Now said, “The procession of Muharram has been depicted in a wrong way in the trailer. Our concerns are that the movie’s plot is based on corruption and the lead role is being played by John Abraham, who is avenging the wrongdoings on him. The makers could have very well completed the film without having a scene with the Muharram procession. The movie’s plot has nothing to do with Muharram. All these things are outraging religious feelings of a particular sect.”

Well, so far the makers of ‘Satyameva Jayate’ have kept mum on this issue, so let’s wait and hope that whatever the issue is, it gets resolved soon.

Anyway, talking about the film, it also features Manoj Bajpayee and Aisha Sharma. The movie will be releasing on the Independence Day this year and will lock horns with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gold’ and ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se’ featuring Sunny, Bobby and Dharmendra.
