Sunny Deol in Legal Hassle for using abusive language

Sunny Deol and director Chandraprakash Dwivedi has been caught in a legal hassle. A social organisation filed a case against them for using abusive language in their upcoming film ‘Mohalla Assi’. The complaint was filed at the Bhelupur police station of Varanasi on Sunday.

The concern of complainant Sarvajan Jagruti Sanstha is that the film violates the moral ethics of the country. Also it was stated that the film portrays the city in poor light.The statement read, “The film hurts religious sentiments and we cannot allow such a film to be released”.

Twitter was flooded with mixed reactions to the FIR and the trailer of the film. Here are a few: 

#MohallaAssi was made by a Censor Board member. Looking at the trailer I'll be surprised if it gets passed! https://t.co/0w8RtD1xH4

How wonderful would it be if it was released, uncut. Don't see that happening, but I live in hope. #MohallaAssi

The film also features Ravi Kishen and Sakshi Tanwar in prominent roles. Sunny Deol is playing a Sanskrit teacher and an orthodox pundit in the film while Sakshi Tanwar is playing his wife. The film is scheduled to release in October.
