Just in: In the theatre of the ridiculous, a privilege motion has now been filed against writer Shobhaa De in the Maharashtra assembly.

This, because, De, tweeted yesterday: "No more pop corn at multiplexes in Mumbai? Dahi misal and vada pav only. To go better with the Marathi movies at prime time."

De's ire was directed at yesterday's Maharashtra government's order to multiplexes directing them to screen Marathi films at prime time (6 pm to 9 pm).

De posted this comment immediately after the government's order.

The privilege motion was tabled by Shiv Sena legislator Pratap Sarnaik.

De reacted, again on Twitter, saying, "Now a privilege motion demanding an apology from me? Come on! I am a proud Maharashtrian and love Marathi films. Always have. Always will!"
