Ajay Devgn's 'Thank God' lands in legal trouble for 'hurting religious sentiments'; case filed

‘Thank God’, starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra, has landed in legal trouble. A complaint has been filed against the director Indra Kumar, and lead actors, saying that the film mocks religion and is hurtful to religious sentiments.

The complaint filed by lawyer Himanshu Srivastava also states that Chitragupt, portrayed in the film by Ajay Devgn, is shown using objectionable language as he cracks jokes in one of the scenes. ‘Chitragupta is regarded as the Lord of Karma and keeps a record of a man's good and bad deeds. Such depiction of Gods can create an unpleasant situation since it hurts religious sentiments,’ the petition said.
