Mumbai, Sep 9: Following a civil suit filed against ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ by a BG Jadhav claiming the movie trailer to have a scene that posed threat to public health, the Sessions court on Thursday September 8 refused to stay the release of the film.

Jadhav in his complaint had claimed that the scene where the leading lady of the movie Katrina Kaif was smoking a ‘beedi’ was sending a bad message to the public. His lawyer, R N Kachave said "Considering the impact that these personalities have on the young and the extent of their influence, the film should be released only after that scene is cut."

Kachave argued that the youth often tend to follow the footsteps of movie stars and Katrina, with her smoking scene is the movie, is setting a bad example to them.

Jadhav, in his suit, has named producer Aditya Chopra, director and writer Ali Abbas Zafar, Katrina Kaif, Yashraj films Pvt Ltd and others as respondents.

The sessions court said that while the suit could be admitted, there were not enough grounds to stay the release of the film. The issue will come up for hearing next on September 30.
