Case filed against Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is in a soup for his comment that his upcoming mythological epic Hindi film, Adipurush will make Raavan humane and also justify his abduction of Sita.

Now, an advocate from Uttar Pradesh has filed a case against the actor and director Om Raut for hurting religious sentiments.

A leading news agency reported that the plea will be heard in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) in the Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh on December 23.

On the other hand, during an interview Saif, who is playing a character based on Raavan in Adipurush had said that it’s interesting to play a demon king, less strictures in that.

He also added, "But we will make him humane, up the entertainment quotient, justify his abduction of Sita and the war with Ram as revenge for what was done to his sister Surpanakha by Lakshman, who cut off his nose."

However, he had retracted his statement and issued an apology after facing backlash.
