Muzaffarpur Court, Bihar has given orders to file an FIR against Salman Khan and seven other actors after a complaint was filed by an advocate against him and his production 'Loveratri'. Advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha had filed a complaint on September 6, in a Bihar court, alleging that the title of the film hurts by deriding the festival of Navratri.

The complaint was heard by sub divisional judicial magistrate Shailendra Kumar on September 12. Ojha said the film's scheduled date of release, October 5 is close to Navratri festival this year and it would hurt Hindu sentiments. The complaint is filed under IPC sections 295 (injuring or defiling place of worship), 298 (uttering words with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings), 153 (want only giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153B (assertions, imputations prejudicial to national integration) and 120(B) (criminal conspiracy).

The movie is due to launch Salman's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, and newcomer Warina Hussain. Both of the debutants have also been made party to the case, along with director Abhiraj Minawala, and veteran actors Ram Kapoor and Ronit Roy.
