Mumbai: Bandra Police Station has registered a case against Ekta Kapoor after some people from the Christian community complained about certain scenes from her recently released film, 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum'.
Complainant Joseph Dias said that some scenes and dialogues of the film hurt sentiments of Christians and made a mockery of priests.
"The priest is shown in a poor light and hence the film has made a mockery of the Christian sacrament of marriage and the faith. It is a misrepresentation of priests and the community. The dialogues with double meaning are unprintable," said Dias, general secretary of the Catholic-Christian Secular Forum.
A first information report (FIR) was registered at Mumbai's Bandra police station under Sections 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
"A complaint has been registered against the producer, director, writer, actors of the film and others," said an official from the police station.
The FIR did not mention names of the filmmakers or the actors, he said.
"We are investigating the matter and will make arrests if the actors or the filmmakers are found guilty," the official said.
Police will first verify whether the contentious scenes are indeed present in the film and then record her statement. It is a non-bailable offence.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor, 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' has Tusshar Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Sarah Jane Dias and Neha Sharma in the lead roles. Released on July 27, 2012, the film has been declared a hit already.(With inputs from IANS)
