The Delhi High Court has dismissed a PIL against Salman Khan’s new film ‘Bharat’ which sought a stay over the film’s release.
According to the petitioner, Vikas Tyagi, the movie is “distorting the culture and political image of our great country `Bharat`.”
In his plea, Tyagi had contended that the title of the film is in violation of Section 3 of Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, according to which the word `Bharat` cannot be used for the commercial purpose.
The film, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, is a remake of Korean film ‘Ode To My Father’ and has Salman Khan playing the titular role. The film narrates the journey of a man and a country together.
The film also features Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Sunil Grover and Tabu. It is scheduled to release on 5th June.
