A criminal case has been filed and registered against Bollywood director Karan Johar, producer Gauri Khan and others for allegedly hurting the religious feelings of people by referring to mythological figure Goddess Radha as "sexy" in a song in the recently released Movie Student of the Year.
The local police filed the case in compliance with a magisterial court's order on a private complaint by an NGO. 'Shrivision Social Empowerment and Welfare Association', an NGO, had last month approached the court with a private complaint, alleging that a song in the film refers to the mythological figure Radha as "sexy".
Last month, the magistrate ordered registration of FIR, the organisation's spokesperson said.
