Post "Pinga" song controversy, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' had attracted fresh problem. An official from a Pune-based NGO had filed a request to put a ban on the film. According to him, the film allegedly distorts history relating to the family of the king, Shrimant Bajirao Peshwe and following which it can hurt the sentiments of their followers.

But a Pune court dismissed this plea, by citing that "such a suit is applicable if the material causes nuisance or promotes a wrongful act that can affect the public, and merely hurting public sentiments does not amount to public nuisance." On the other hand, the bench suggested the complainant to approach the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with his grievances.

Releasing on December 18th, 'Bajirao Mastani' stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
