Lawyer Pramod Pandey, on October 6, filed an application before the court and demanded action under Section 153(3) of the CrPC. “Lord Ram has been shown wearing a leather outfit while Lord Hanuman has also been shown in negative light,” he pointed out.

Head priest of Ram Janmabhoomi, Acharya Satyendra Das, and saints of Ayodhya have also demanded a ban on the movie.
