Son of Sardar defames Sikhs, says plaint against Devgn

September 30, 2012 10:04

A complaint has been filed in a court in New Delhi against Bollywood actor-producer Ajay Devgn for allegedly maligning and defaming Sikhs in his upcoming film Son of Sardar.

The complaint, filed by one Ravinder Singh who claims to be a member of a Sikh organisation Sikhi Sidak, seeks action against Devgn and the film's director Ashwini Dhir for hurting religious sentiments of the Sikh community and defaming it.

Singh told the court that the trailers of the movie, which is scheduled for release on November 13, show the main character of a turbaned Sikh, played by Devgn, to be having a tattoo of Lord Shiva on his chest.
