Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is marred with controversy as a petition seeking a ban on the release of the film is filed in Allahabad High Court.

The PIL filed by social activist Anil Pradhan has alleged that some scenes contained in the film are bound to hurt the religious sentiments of the majority community.

The makers of the film, The Ministry for Information and Broadcasting and other cast and crew members of the film who have been named as parties in the PIL are likely to come up with a hearing this week.
