A
new
day,
and
a
new
legal
complaint
against
a
Bollywood
film.
Since
the
trailer
of
Ajay
Devgn,
Sidharth
Malhotra,
and
Rakul
Preet
Singh
starrer
Thank
God
was
released,
it
has
been
embroiled
in
a
controversy.
Days
after,
a
Madhya
Pradesh
minister,
demanded
to
ban
the
film,
members
of
Kayastha
Samaj
have
filed
a
complaint
against
the
makers
in
Rajasthan.
According
to
a
report
by
news
agency
PTI,
the
representatives
of
the
Kayastha
Samaj
in
their
complaint
have
alleged
that
the
film
has
hurt
the
religious
sentiments
of
the
community.
Further,
the
complaint
also
alleges
that
the
Hindu
God
Chitragupta
has
been
portrayed
in
an
indecent
manner
in
the
film.
The
community
has
lodged
a
case
against
actor
Ajay
Devgn,
producer
T-Series,
and
a
few
others.
Representing
the
community,
senior
social
worker
Chandrakant
Saxena
lodged
a
complaint
at
Dholpur’s
Nihalganj
police
station
under
the
banner
of
the
Sri
Chitragupta
Committee.
Meanwhile,
national
senior
vice-president
of
Kayastha
Mahasabha
Sanjeev
Srivastava,
told
PTI,
“Led
by
senior
social
worker
Chandrakant
Saxena,
the
representatives
of
the
community
reached
the
Nihalganj
police
station
in
the
city
under
the
banner
of
the
Sri
Chitragupta
Committee
and
filed
the
complaint.
A
memorandum
will
be
handed
over
to
the
district
collector.”
As
per
the
complainant,
the
film’s
trailer
shows
deity
Chitragupta
dressed
inappropriately
in
modern
attire
and
is
surrounded
by
‘half-naked
women’,
which
according
to
him
is
derogatory.
“This
has
hurt
religious
sentiments,” Srivastava
said.
He
also
said
that
a
conspiracy
is
being
conducted
to
harm
social
harmony
and
demanded
the
removal
of
objectionable
scenes.
Earlier,
a
senior
BJP
minister
from
MP,
Vishwas
Sarang,
who
is
also
the
higher
education
minister,
demanded
a
ban
on
the
movie.
In
a
letter
to
Union
Minister
of
Information
and
Broadcasting,
Anurag
Thakur,
Sarang
stated
that
the
comedy
in
the
film
depicts
Hindu
gods
inappropriately.
He
wrote,
“In
a
fresh
such
incident,
Ajay
Devgan
starring
in
the
movie
–
‘Thank
God’,
Chitragupt,
who
is
considered
as
the
God
of
Kayastha,
has
been
portrayed
with
half-nude
women
and
derogatory
language
has
been
used
in
the
movie.
It
has
hurt
the
sentiments
of
the
people
of
the
Kayastha
community
across
the
country
and
therefore,
this
movie
should
be
banned.”
He
also
accused
Bollywood
of
showing
Hindu
deities
in
a
wrong
way.
Directed
by
Indra
Kumar
and
produced
by
Bhushan
Kumar,
Thank
God
is
a
comedy-family
entertainer
in
which
actor
Ajay
Devgn
will
be
seen
essaying
the
role
of
Lord
Chitragupta.
The
film
is
slated
for
an
October
24
release.
