A Mumbai-based Sunni Muslim group  has issued a fatwa against filmmaker Majid Majidi and Oscar-winning music director AR Rahman. 

According to a report in The Indian Express, the fatwa is issued against Iranian filmmaker Majidi's upcoming film titled 'Muhammad: Messenger of God'. The film will be the first of the trilogy on the life of Prophet Mohammad.

We are against the title. People may use it in a bad manner if they dont like the film, which will mean an insult to the Prophet. The actors have charged money to act in the film and they may have dubious character in real life. How can we Muslims allow such things to happen? Saeed Noorie, chief of Raza Academy, which initiated the fatwa that was issued by Muhammad Akhtar -- the chief mufti of Mumbai told The Hindu.
