Bombay High Court has denied interim relief to two parties objecting to the release of the Hindi film Azaan. The theme of the film is biological warfare.
The first objection came from a party claiming to be in charge of marketing and distributing the film. This party requested interim relief until arbitration proceedings against the producers of the film were concluded.
The second objection, in the form of a criminal writ petition, came from Mumbai Samajwadi Party vice-president Farookh Ghosi. Ghosi filed a petition to obtain a first information report against Azaan’s producers, actors and director for “exploiting” the use of the word azaan (the Muslim call to prayer) for commercial gain.
