A plea was filed in a local court today demanding a ban on the release of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Ram Leela' for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments.
The case was filed in the court of chief judicial magistrate R K Yadav who posted the matter for November 11.
The film by noted Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is set to hit the theatres on November 15.
The complainant, Amit Arya of Patna, through his lawyer Kumar Shankaram raised objections to the title of the movie and alleged that the depiction of "obscene mujra song" had put the Hindu gods in poor light.
The petitioner submitted a CD of the film's trailor in support of his complaint.
Ranveer Singh had come to Patna last week to promote the flick.
