Additional chief metropolitan magistrate VK Gautam asked Delhi Police to file an action taken report on the complaint filed by Gaurav Gulati, who sought action against the two actors on charges of hurting religious feelings.

The court listed the matter for February 12 for further hearing.

The lawyer told the court that he noticed on a YouTube post dated December 15, 2015 that the actors wore shoes on the sets of a Kali temple while shooting for a reality TV show. An idol of goddess Kali was seen in the backdrop, he said.

The plea also sought action against the producer and director of the reality show and the TV channel.
