Jaat Movie: FIR Filed Against Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda

Mumbai: A case has been registered at Jalandhar’s Sadar Police Station against Bollywood actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Siingh, director Gopichand Malineni, and producer Naveen Yerneni for hurting religious sentiments with a scene in their film ‘Jaat’. The move comes amid objections from members of the Christian community who staged a protest outside the Police Commissioner’s office in connection with the alleged disrespect shown towards Lord Jesus Christ in the film ‘Jaat’.

In the complaint to the police, the complainant alleged that a crucifixion scene from the film ‘Jaat’ mimics and mocks Lord Jesus Christ, thereby hurting the religious sentiments of the Christian community. The scene in question features Hooda, who is playing the main villain, standing inside a church, beneath a crucifix placed above the sacred pulpit, while members of the congregation are seen praying.

Many of them said the scene amounts to the desecration of the church’s most sacred space – the pulpit. ‘Jaat’ is doing a good business at the box office. The film has wrapped up its first week at around Rs 61.50 crore nett, and is now preparing to take on Akshay Kumar’s ‘Kesari 2’ starting this weekend.
