Bangistan seeks police protection!

'Bangistan' that released today across the Nation has fallen in a big trouble. Though the movie is banned in many countries, it hit the screens in India after clearing few censorship issues. But, a local religious body has demanded a stay on the film's release in India for "offensive content".

Keeping in mind about the chaotic situation that might occur, the actors of the movie Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat have asked for extra police security.

According to reports in a leading daily, a source was quoted saying, "The film revolves around two suicide bombers, one Hindu and the other, a Muslim. Both Pulkit and Riteish know what the consequences can be if someone misunderstands their characters. And such controversies have happened in the past. Therefore, they have asked the makers if they can be provided with additional security on the release day, which is today." [sic]

As reported earlier, the movie was banned in Pakistan, UAE, Singapore, Kuwait and Bahrain after the censor boards there found its content objectionable.

However, another source says, "After it was banned in a few countries, the Censor Board in India has received a letter from the Hindu Legal Cell demanding a stay on its release. They are objecting to the portrayal of a Hindu as a terrorist in the film. They have also taken exception to a scene in which Pulkit dresses up as lord Hanuman and is later seen indulging in terrorist activities." [sic]

The film's spokesperson confirms the story, stating: "Additional security arrangements have been made for Pulkit and Riteish to avoid any mishaps. Even the makers of the project are taking precautionary measures since the film releases today." [sic]

Director Karan Anshuman says, "Some Hindu outfit has taken objection to the film and written a letter to Censor Board, but I don't know if it will affect the release." [sic]
