Kanpur, Aug 1: With the buzz created in Bollywood over Aamir Khan’s just released movie poster of ‘PK’ in which the actor poses nude with only a stereo to hide his modesty, a city criminal lawyer has filed a PIL against him and producer and director of the movie for propagating obscenity.aamir pil

The PIL has been filed against Khan, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, director Rajkumar Hirani along with all promoters of the film alleging the movie poster to be lascivious and spreading prurient interest. Filed by Kanpur based criminal lawyer Manoj Mishra, the PIL will be heard on August 7 by Justice Gagan Bharti in the city court.

The PIL has been filed under IPC section 292. If proved guilty, the punishment under the section ranges from 5-10 years.

The 48-year-old actor revealed the poster late last night on his Twitter account on Thursday. In the first look, Aamir is seen walking nude on a railway track with a huge radio protecting his modesty. "What do you think guys? Tell me fast... Butterflies in my stomach!," Aamir tweeted.

The 'Dhoom 3' star, who is known for experimenting his looks in the film, appeared nude for the first time in his more than three-decade-old career.

This is the the second time that the Bollywood's perfectionist is teaming up with Hirani after the stupendous success of '3 Idiots'.

'PK', a satire on godmen, also stars Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput in prominent roles. It is expected to hit theatres on December 19.

Mumbai, Jul 28: Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to look into the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and direct the state police to register an FIR in this connection.

Wishing Thackeray on Monday on his birthday, Tiwari, who has acted in Bhojpuri films, pointed out that over 40 days have passed since the death of Rajput, but an FIR is yet to be registered.

"Many happy returns of the Day @CMOMaharashtra Shri Uddhav Ji, on this day I request with folded hands to give justice to Sushant who died 43 days ago, but no FIR has been registered so far. I hope you will help. Please do justice to millions of SSR fans," he tweeted.

Bollywood actor Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, which the police said was a case of suicide. His death had triggered an outcry from several quarters alleging that the late actor, who hailed from Bihar, was a victim of nepotism in the film industry.

The lawmaker from Northeast Delhi's Lok Sabha seat, who visited the deceased actor's family in Patna last month had then said: "Sushant's father and sister requested me to take up the issue and get him justice. It was really a sentimental moment for me".

Previously, Tiwari had demanded a CBI investigation into the matter

According to the police, statements of 40 people including film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra and actor Rhea Chakraborty have been recorded in the investigation so far.

New Delhi, May 15: In an attempt to constructively use leisure time during the lockdown, actor Bhumi Pednekar has started learning Kathak from her mother, Sumitra Pednekar, who is a trained dancer of this discipline.

Elaborating on her keenness to enhance her knowledge on the dance form, the actor explained about her routine followed for the dance practice and how much she is enjoying it.

"I wanted to learn kathak for a long time as my mother is a trained Kathak dancer! So, for about an hour in the evening this what I and my mom do. She is quite enjoying it and I'm loving learning it from her!" the 30-year-old actor said.

The growing fear of coronavirus has halted many entertainment shootings and productions. The 'Pati Patni Aur Who' actor referring to the current situation opened about the uncertainties of going back to shootings.

"It has put a big question mark on when will we get back to work and how things are going to be. There's a lot of uncertainty. Of course, our dates and schedules have gone haywire and we can't plan anything," she added.

However, the 'Bala' actor is finding a silver lining among the gloom as she says that the time has given her an opportunity to get back to what she used to love as a child - the habit of reading.

"I was a voracious reader but since entering Bollywood I haven't got a chance to read something at a stretch," she said.

"But now, I have got all the time and I'm making full use of the time at hand. I have been watching TED talks and have been reading a lot about climate change because that is something, I am severely passionate about. This time has been very educational for me," she added.

On the professional front, Pednekar will be soon seen as a leading lady in the Akshay Kumar's 'Durgavati' and award-winning director Alankrita Srivastava's 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare'.
