A writ petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court by the National Capital’s Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta against the movie ‘Adipurush’, claiming it mocks the Ramayana, the Sanskrit epic that the movie is based on.

“This is a writ petition in the shape of public interest litigation under article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of direction to the respondents for removal of objectionable scenes depicting religious leaders/characters/figures in bad taste and issues a writ of mandamus to the respondents directing them to not certify the feature film ‘Adipurush’ for public exhibition and pass such other or further order as this hon’ble court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case,” the petition states.

Adipurush, on its first day, has earned over Rs 133 crore on the worldwide box office.
