Earlier, Salman had clarified about 'Loveratri' title
Notably, during the 'Bigg Boss 12' launch, Salman had opened up on 'Loveratri' and clarified that the movie's title does not demean any culture. "There is nothing more beautiful than love, so it is called Loveratri. It is not demeaning any culture," Salman had said.
VHP on 'Loveratri'
VHP too had raised an objection with 'Loveratri'
Interestingly, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), in June, had protested against the title of 'Loveratri' saying that it distorts the name of Hindu festival. In fact, VHP President Pravin Togadia's new organization 'Hindu Hi Aage' had also announced a reward of Rs. 2 lakh for vandalizing the sets and Rs. 5 lakh for anyone who will slap producer Salman publicly for hurting religious sentiments.
