PIL seeks ban on 'Laal Singh Chaddha': Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' was released in theatres on August 11 and was touted as one of the biggest releases of the year.

The film failed to leave a mark at the box office in India. The slow performance at the box office forced the distributors and theatre owners to cancel several shows contributing to losses for the makers.

Besides, another major factor in the film's bad run at the Indian box office was the boycott calls on social media.

In the meanwhile, a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) has been filed against Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' in the Kolkata High Court seeking a complete ban on the film in Bengal citing peace disorder.

It further stated that a large amount of people on social media doesn't want others to watch the film in the theatres. Thus, such anger and frustration on seeing some people going to watch the film may lead to a serious threat to the law and order situation in the state of West Bengal, it added.

Notably, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios. The film features Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in pivotal roles.
