sallubhaiMumbai, Jul 11: Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has a huge crazy fan following, has some haters too. Just before the release of his most anticipated film 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', some miscreants have circulated a mischievous morphed message about him on WhatsApp.

In the fake message that has gone viral on WhatsApp, the actor is shown saying that he dislikes Muslims who support the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party president Asaduddin Owaisi.

The post also alleges that 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' was originally named as 'Khan Bhaijaan', but later, Salman had changed the title of the film.

Shocked by the viral post which could lead to a communal tension, Salman Khan has reportedly lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police.

Confirming the same, DCP Dhananjay Kulkarni said that the actor's manager has lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police and they are looking into the matter.

Salman's woes doesn't end here. Earlier, an activist had issued a legal notice to the actor for hurting religious sentiments of the Hindus.

A group of seers have also demanded a ban on his upcoming film 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.

Directed by Kabir Khan, Salman Khan starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' will be hitting theatres on July 17.

New Delhi, Feb 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave time to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to seek instructions on travel ban imposed on comedian Kunal Kamra.

Kamra approached the court against IndiGo which suspended him from flying with the airlines for a period of six months. Other airlines had also followed the suit in pursuance to this.

Justice Naveen Chawla said that the regulatory body should not have certified actions of airlines other than IndiGo to ban Kamra without conducting inquiry. The matter will now be heard on February 27.

Last month, IndiGo had barred the stand-up comedian for six months from using its services for allegedly portraying "unacceptable behaviour" onboard its flight.

The airline claimed that Kamra, while travelling on a Mumbai-Lucknow IndiGo flight, provoked a TV news anchor by asking questions over his news presentation style.

Mumbai, Jan 4: After the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur constituted a panel to decide whether legendary poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poem 'Hum Dekhenge' is offensive to Hindu sentiments, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar had a cryptic take on the burning controversy.

"Best time for the rich & small businesses to make money as most of the population are engaged with a revolutionary poet named Faiz," Sircar said in a tweet.

The poem, penned down by the iconic poet in 1979, came into limelight again recently during the protests against CAA and NRC in IIT Kanpur.

Earlier on Thursday, senior lyricist Javed Akhtar rejected the claims about the poem being 'anti-Hindu'.

IIT Kanpur on Thursday had set up a committee to look into the issue.

The move came after a complaint that the students who took out a peaceful march in the campus on December 17 against the Citizenship Amendment Act and in solidarity with Jamia Millia Islamia students, sung it as a mark of protest, which hurt the sentiments of other communities.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians who faced religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
