    VHP targets Salman's 'Loveratri', says it distorts Navratri's name

    What's the story

    'Loveratri', which marks the Bollywood debut of Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain, has landed in trouble, months before its scheduled release date.

    The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has called for a ban on the film saying that the title distorts the meaning of a Hindu festival, Navratri.

    Here's all about it.

    Details

    "We don't want the sentiments of Hindus to be hurt"

    VHP's international working president Alok Kumar has vowed to stall the release of 'Loveratri'.

    He said, "We will not allow its exhibition in cinema halls in the country. We don't want the sentiments of Hindus to be hurt."

    "The film is set against the backdrop of Navratri, a Hindu festival, and the name distorts its meaning," he added.

    Quote

    Kumar says VHP wants social harmony

    "Priorities might have changed. Right now, our priority is to work towards social harmony. We are pained how the situation is being exploited by certain groups. We are wedded to the idea of welfare for all communities irrespective of their caste and creed," Kumar said.

    Context

    Meanwhile, Salman is ensuring it's a dream debut for Aayush-Warina

    Produced by Salman, 'Loveratri' has been hogging the limelight for quite some time now, courtesy his unique promotional antics.

    His introduction of Warina Hussain had sent netizens into a frenzy. He had tweeted "Mujhe ladki mil gayi" and people went berserk coming up with all kinds of speculations.

    Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film is slated to release on 21st September 2018.
