Maharashtra-based Punjabi Cultural Heritage Board has objected to Tiger Shroff’s costume in A Flying Jatt. The shiny blue super suit has a large Khanda symbol on it. “The trailers show ‘khanda’ – one of the articles of faith of Sikhs – displayed on the hero’s outfit, and some of the sacred verses from Guru Granth Sahib are also distorted. We fear the overall content of the movie would be making a mockery of the community for commercial gains. This seems to be a deliberate and malicious act intended to outrage religious feelings of the Sikhs by insulting their religion or religious beliefs,” a spokesperson for the group said.

Let them eat cake!
