A day before petition was filed in the Uttarakhand High Court  against “Kedarnath” movie. In which petitioner alleged that it is hurting sentiments of Hindus.

The PIL alleges the movie is an “ugly taint” on the Hindu shrine. One of the allegations is that Lord Kedarnath has been insulted in the film.

The PIL also claims that the movie trailer shows that Muslims have been residing in the area for ages while there are no residents from the community in the area.
