Shia community has now lodged a complaint against Raees for hurting Islamic sentiments

A particular scene from Raees where Shah Rukh is seen jumping over a Muharram procession carrying alame mubarak(Islamic flag) is being considered as a sign of disrespect.Mail Today even has a copy of the letter which demands that either Shah Rukh removes that scene or they’ll be forced to protest against the film.

The Shia community demands an apology and wants the scene to be removed

A leader from the community says, 'Such a scene that hurts the religious sentiments of the Shia community can neither be shown nor considered for entertainment. If the scene is not deleted, we will organise a protest throughout India. We will move court and file a petition in this regard.'

The Shia group has even written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the censor board explaining their objection regarding the scene in Raees

Another Shia leader, Kamran Haider from Okhla, further added in fury, ‘We cannot tolerate anyone disrespecting our holy master, a master who not only sacrificed his own life, but also led a miserable life with his family to keep Islam alive. Khan and the director should know that his family was very underprivileged.’

A petition against Shah Rukh Khan's Raees has been filed in the district court of Jaunpur

An influential Shia cleric from Lucknow, Maulana Syed Kalbe Jawad Naqvi, said, "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. We have organised a huge protest in this regard. I hope appropriate action would be taken.”

Shah Rukh Khan has fallen in trouble due to his scene in the Raees trailer

The complainant Jeshaan Haider of Gajipur village, who runs an NGO called Public Protection Movement Organisation said, "Shah Rukh Khan has insulted the alame mubarak by jumping over the holiest Shahihe Mubarak of Imama Hussain. Such a scene that hurts the religious sentiments of the Shia community can neither be shown nor considered for entertainment. If the scene is not deleted, we will organise a protest throughout India. We will move court and file a petition in this regard.”

Shah Rukh and Team Raees respond is awaited regarding this uncalled protests

Will they delete the scene all together? Or will they justify in defense? Not to forget, Raees is already in news for starring Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and the plot which revolves around famous underworld don, Abdul Latif. Although SRK met MNS chief Raj Thackeray last night and came to an agreement over Mahira. But how will he escape this fuss surrounding hurting religious sentiments?
