NEW DELHI (TIP):
The Supreme Court today refused to stop the release of Aamir Khan’s film “PK”, rejecting a petition that said some scenes hurt religious sentiment. The Chief Justice of India, RM Lodha, said, “If you don’t like don’t watch the film. Don’t bring religious facets here. These are matters of entertainment. If you restrict it, it will affect others’ rights. Everything is on the internet.

What will you hide?” The petitioner, an NGO called “All India Human Rights and Social Justice Front”, argued that some scenes in the film would hurt religious sentiments and also disturb public order. The court said, “Indian society is very matured and knows the difference between entertainment and other things.” The film’s first-look poster released recently caused a sensation.

It featured Aamir Khan, 49, posing nude with a strategically placed boom-box. Critics called it one more in Aamir’s list of innovative publicity stunts and the buzz on social media has been unrelenting. “PK”, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is set to release on December 19.
