A social activist has approached the Bombay High Court seeking stay on the release of the movie “Bajirao Mastani” until two of its songs –‘Pinga’ and ‘Malhari’ –are not censored as these allegedly distort facts and history.
Hemant Patil, president of a city-based NGO ‘Bharat Against Corruption’, petitioned the HC after a court in Pune dismissed his application seeking ban on the film’s release as it allegedly distorts history relating to late king Shrimant Bajirao Peshwa and his family members.
The movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone is slated for release on December 18.
