A Bench of Chief Justice R S Reddy and Justice V M Pancholi asked the production house to submit all the promotional material of the movie for viewing, and sought clarification from the production house on the change in the name of the film from ‘Loveratri’ to ‘Loveyatri’ and posted further hearing on the matter on Thursday.

The matter came up before the Bench in a PIL filed by one Sanatan Foundation objecting to the film’s release with a complaint that the film’s title hurts religious sentiments of the Hindu community because it distorts the famous Hindu festival of ‘Navratri’ and is derogatory to all women.

Therefore, the movie in question should be stopped from being released,” the petition reads.

The film which is set to release on October 5, 2018, is yet to get a censor certificate.
