Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma starrerPK is doing well at the Box office. But a controversy surrounding the plot of the film has erupted and it might cost the movie some viewers. Some staunch Hindu groups have come out in protest, asking the Hindu audience to ban PK because it promotes Love Jihad and mocks religious sentiments of Hindus.
The film has a love track between Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput. Sushant plays a Pakistani boy while Anushka plays a Hindu girl. At the start, the lovers separate due to misunderstanding and family pressure, but towards they end they get back together. The Hindutva organisations are calling this romantic angle a concealed endorsement of Love Jihad.
Another bone of contention these religious groups have with the film is its portrayal of God men and the Hindu religion as a God-fearing and not a God-loving one. These organisations passed derogatory remarks about how Aamir despite having married a Hindu, never dared to target Islam in the way he has attacked Hinduism.
#BoycottPK has been trending on Twitter for a while. Some fanatics have also tweeted derogatory remarks about Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan.
