Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar gets legal notice

By Hindustan Times

A senior lawyer has sent a legal notice to actor and producer Ajay Devgn for hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community in his forthcoming movie Son of Sardaar. As per the attention sent by lawyer Navkiran Singh after watching the official trailer of the movie on YouTube, Sikhs are shown in “bad light” in some parts of the movie.

He had mentioned in regards to the content available to the general public throughout the official trailer on YouTube, which has comment like “Had there been no Sikhs, who would have invented abuses like Teree Maan Dee-Teree Bhain Dee.”

Another section of the movie has a dialogue, “In case Sardars do not need been there then on whom would the jokes be made.”

As per the notice, “Your (Ajay Devgn) official trailer on YouTube contains such material and the film may contain more.”

Navkiran Singh has requested the actor to delete such dialogues from the movie in public interest in any other case his office plans to take legal action against Devgn and all others concerned about execution of this film at the criminal in addition to civil side.

The notice has given Ajay Devgn seven days to respond.

More at the film
Ajay Devgn will romance Sonakshi Sinha for the primary time, who will again be seen in an Indian get-up. The film is directed by Ashwani Dhir.

Salman Khan has also apparently agreed to do an item number within the film for Ajay Devgn and that too at no cost. The Dabangg star was reportedly signed on as he was most suited to the number. The song could be shot in a studio in Mumbai, where a different set can be built.

SOS is slated for November 13, 2012 release. It's going to clash with Yash Chopra's untitled comeback movie starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

Ajay Devgn in SOS
Ajay, however, is unperturbed by the competition, saying there's space for 2 films at the big Diwali weekend. "Diwali's been lucky for me with films like Golmaal Returns (2008), All of the Best (2009) and Golmaal 3. Rascals (2011), that released last Dussera, had a vulgar streak, I'll never do a movie like that again. I DO NOT find out about their (YRF's) film, but SOS is a comic book love story with loads of action, an ideal festival film."
