In what seems to be now an usual routine for Bollywood, another film has offended a sect over its title. The film in question is Loveratri. Readers may be aware that this film is supposed to be the launching vehicle of Salman Khan‘s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. Produced under the banner of Salman Khan films, this film has now become the target of Vishnu Hindu Parishad.

From Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela to now Loveratri, many Bollywood films have had to face this kind of title trouble in the past. The accusation thrown towards Loveratri is that the film’s title distorts the name of a Hindu festival. And hence it is alleged that it will hurt Hindu sentiments. The Vishnu Hindu Parishad President Alok Kumar has firmly asserted in media reports that they won’t be allowing the film to be exhibited in Indian theatres.

He went on to state that the title is not acceptable as it is inspired by the auspicious Indian festival Navratri. He further expressed his concerns that this not only affects the Hindu sentiments but also distorts the name of the festival.

For the uninitiated, Navratri is an Indian festival that signifies the victory of good over evil. While some consider this as Ram’s victory over the Rakshasa Ravana, some others celebrate the nine different avatars of Indian Goddess.

Interestingly, Loveratri too set against the backdrop of Navratri in Gujarat that has only added to the anger of VHP. As of now, the makers of the film are yet to comment on the matter. Last we heard that the film has completed its major schedule. Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film also stars debutant Warina Hussain. It is slated to release on October 5 this year which incidentally falls during the time of Navratri.

Shah Rukh Khan has over the years become a name to reckon with in the world of films. And making a debut alongside him or in a film that features Shah Rukh in the lead is a dream for many. Well, now we hear that for Sushrii Shreya Mishraa, this dream will soon become a reality. As per reports, it is learnt that Sushrii Shreya Mishraa, who was the third runner up in the 2015 Miss United Continents pageant will be seen making her Bollywood debut with the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero.

As per what we hear, Sushrii has been roped in to play the role of Abhay Deol’s girlfriend. If that wasn’t all, the stunner has already shot for the film and is apparently pretty kicked about her debut vehicle. Commenting on the same, Sushrii apart from having only words of praise for her co-star Abhay, went on to gush about the film being perfect and how Mukesh Chabbra’s casting company was the sole reason for her to bag this role.

As for the film itself, Zero that was announced a while back is being helmed by Aanand L. Rai. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, the film will see Khan playing a dwarf and is being readied to release on December 21.
