Activists of BJP's youth wing today held protest outside a theatre screening Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest release, 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela', demanding apology from the director for use of word 'Ram' in context of the movie.
The activists forced the cinema owner to remove the posters of the film, alleging its title and the use of word 'Ram' in context of the movie, had hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus.
The activists also burnt the film posters, which were taken off.
They demanded that Bhansali, the actors including Ranvir Singh and Deepika Padukone, and all the key people associated with the film should publicly apologise.
