Fatwa against A R Rahman for film on Prophet
September 11, 2015

A Mumbai-based Sunni Muslim group has issued a fatwa against celebrated Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi and Indian music composer A R Rahman. The fatwa, issued by Raza Academy, demands that Muslims reject Majidi's film titled 'Muhammad: Messenger of God' -- first of the trilogy on the life of Prophet Mohammad. 

Last week, the group had written to Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, seeking a ban on Majidi's film.
