'Yaariyan 2', starring Divya Khosla Kumar, Meezaan Jafri and Pearl V Puri, has landed in legal trouble ahead of its release.
The Sikh Gurudwara Parbhandak Committee has alleged that makers used kirpan in an objectionable manner in the film's song 'Saure Ghar'
Stating that the track has hurt religious sentiments, SPGC has demanded a ban on the film and warned that if the objectionable visual is not taken down from public view, they will take legal action.
The SGPC committee tweeted on 'X', 'We raise our strong objection to these visuals filmed and published in 'Saure Ghar' song of 'Yaariyan 2' film directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru @SapruAndRao, as actor is seen wearing Sikh Kakaar (symbol of Sikh faith) 'Kirpan' in a highly objectionable manner, which cannot be accepted.'
The SGPC sought the intervention of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in the matter.
Later, the makers clarified regarding the allegation and said, 'We would like to address the concerns regarding the visuals in the song - 'Saure Ghar' from our recent film 'Yaariyan 2'. We would like to clarify that the actor in the song is wearing a 'khukri' and not a 'kirpan'. In fact, the dialogues in the film make it explicitly clear that it is a khukri," they said, adding their intention was not to offend any religious beliefs'.
