Delhi court pulls up Race 2 makers for nudity, vulgarity
21 March 2013 5:36 AM IST
The Delhi High Court Wednesday expressed displeasure over Hindi film Race 2 following a petition that it showed nudity and vulgarity.
‘Please think where the film industry is going. You are teaching indiscipline to children,’ a division bench of Chief Justice D. Murugesan and Justice V.K. Jain said.
They were hearing a PIL alleging that the film was vulgar and showed nude scenes. It sought a ban on the movie.
The court's observation came after the counsel appearing for the producers and director of Race 2 said the Central Film Certification Board (CBFC) had already cleared its release.
The court sought response from the ministry of information and broadcasting, CBFC and Delhi government and posted the matter for Friday. The petition was filed by social worker Teena Sharma. The court had earlier directed the central government to consider the plea against Race 2 and take appropriate action within a fortnight.
