New Delhi: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) had been filed against the upcoming Bollywood movie “Finding Fanny” in Delhi High Court on Tuesday. The PIL seeks a ban on the release of “Finding Fanny” which had been starring Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor and directed by Homi Adajania. It claimed that there is use of “vulgar word ‘Fanny’”.
It has also challenged the U/A certificate given to the movie. Movie had been scheduled to release this Friday.
The plea was filed against the information and broadcasting ministry, the film’s producer, director and actors.
The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapoor.
The plea would come up for hearing Wednesday before a division bench of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice R.S Endlaw.
Nandini Tiwari and NGO Jai Jagriti had filed the PIL against movie through the lawyer Abhishek Krishna. It said the word “fanny” was slang and should be removed from the movie, its songs, posters and banners.
It said the dictionary meaning of the word “Fanny” was highly sexually explicit, and using the word in the movie will hurt the feelings of the citizens of India, especially minor children.
