New Delhi: Slumdog Millionaire maybe creating waves across the globe but it's title has landed the film's makers in a soup.
According to reports, Andheri Corporator Nicolas Almeida had filed a PIL in court against the allegedly offensive name of the film earlier this week.
In reaction to the PIL, now a court in Andheri, Mumbai, has issued a notice to the makers of Slumdog Millionaire.
The accusation suggests that the film Slumdog Millionaire calls Indians dogs and slum dwellers, slum-dogs and has demanded the makers change the film's title to Slum-dash Millionaire.
And that is not all. The film also ran into trouble with the Hindu Jan Jagriti Samiti which held a demonstration at Dadar against what they call is an offensive depiction of Lord Ram in one of the film's scenes. This incident took place earlier last week.
The Samiti has also sent a petition to the Censor Board, requesting them to delete this scene. They had also claimed that it may incite communal passion.
