The Hyderabad High Court has issued notices to Mallika Sherawat and K C Bokadia, producer of the Dirty Politics on a petition against a poster of a film that shows the Bollywood actress draped in the three colours of the national flag. In the petition filed, a city-based rights activist T Dhangopal Rao alleged the actress and the film producer have intentionally insulted the national flag in the poster of ‘Dirty Politics’.
In the poster of the film Dirty Politics, which is due for release later this year, the actress is portrayed sitting on top of a car with a red beacon light, wearing the Indian tricolour and seemingly not much else.
Offended by the poster Rao filed the petition seeking action against the actress as use of the national flag for commercial purposes is an insult to the nation’s honour.
Dirty Politics’ also stars Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, Om Puri and Atul Kulkarni
