According to sources, a PIL has been filed against Lal Singh Chaddha at the Kolkata High Court. The PIL seeks that the film starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan be completely banned in Bengal. It asks for a total ban on the film in West Bengal, alleging a threat to peace. It is also said that the case will be heard on August 23 in the court of Chief Justice Prakash Srivastava.
If the ban is not enacted, a police officer should be stationed outside every theatre, as what is represented in the film has the potential to disrupt Bengal's peace and order. Nazia Elahi Khan, a lawyer, filed the PIL. The Army, she claims, is not adequately depicted in the film.
