A city court on Wednesday directed the police to take action against the film
The Dirty Picture, and to register cases against its lead actress Vidya Balan and it producer Ekta Kapoor.
The orders were issued after an advocate Azad
filed a petition in the Nampally Criminal Court stating that The Dirty Picture contains many objectionable scenes, and that therefore, he sought action against Bollywood actress Vidya Balan.
Admitting the petition, the court directed the Nallakunta Police Station to register a case.
In his petition, Azad stated that the obscene scenes in the movie would "spoil the tender minds and their career (sic)".
Stating that the objectionable scenes on posters and wall papers would divert the attention of viewers, he sought direction from the court to remove them.
Vidya Balan plays the lead role in the movie, which is based on the life of the late south-Indian film star Silk Smitha.
However, Nallakunta inspector M Suman Kumar said that a case would be registered after the receipt of the court's order. (INN)
