Now Shia community's objections for a scene in SRK starrer Raees!

SRK's movie Raees has been in news ever since MNS had threatened the Pakistani artists to leave the country because of the Uri Attacks. Shahrukh invited more trouble after he went to Dubai to shoot with Mahira Khan. Subsequent that, the 51-year-old actor had to meet Raj Thackeray and promise that Mahira won't be endorsing the movie. 

But it doesn't finish here! Shia community is now offended by a particular scene in the movie. The representatives of the community have written a letter to the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) demanding the exclusion of the scene in which the actor is seen jumping over a Muharram procession carrying Alame Mubarak. As per the community, it's a sign of disregard. 

Spokesperson of United Shia Front, Samar Abbas Jaidi told, “The actor is shown crossing over an Alam (a Shia religious structure) in a chase sequence. It is strictly prohibited for anyone to cross over the holy structure. We will boycott the movie in the district if the movie is released without removing the scene.”


Powerful Shia cleric from Lucknow, Maulana Syed Kalbe Jawad Naqvi, revealed a top UK daily, "I never watch movies, but when I saw this particular stunt in the movie's trailer, I was shocked. This is wrong. Mr. Khan should know that such religious rituals are followed by Shias to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain."
