Jaat: Occupancy
On Thursday, Jaat’s overall Hindi occupancy was 14.16 per cent. Jaipur witnessed the highest number of shows and occupancy for Jaat, followed by Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad.
Case filed against Jaat
A case has been lodged under Section 299 BNS at the Sadar police station in Jalandhar against Bollywood actors Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda, along with director Gopichand Malineni and producer Naveen Yerneni, following allegations of hurting religious sentiments in their movie Jaat.
The complaint was filed by a local resident who claims that a scene in the recently released film ‘Jaat’ depicts an image resembling the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which has caused offence to the Christian community.
The complainant has urged the authorities to take appropriate action against the filmmakers for the controversial scene, which he believes disrespects religious beliefs and could incite communal tension.
The investigation into the matter is currently underway.
While the film faces legal scrutiny, just a week after the release of ‘Jaat’, Deol has announced the sequel to the film, titled ‘Jaat 2’.
