Legal notice from ‘Asaram Bapu Trust’ issued to the producers of movie ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hai’

Claims of insult of Pujyapad Santshri Asaram Bapu in the movie

New Delhi –  After the trailer of actor Manoj Vajpayee’s upcoming movie ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hai’ was released on 8th May, the Asaram Bapu Trust sent a legal notice to the producer of the movie. The Trust has filed a petition in the Court and demanded to stop the screening of the movie. The Trust has claimed that ‘Asaram Bapu’s reputation has been damaged in this movie.

In this film, a Baba rapes a 16-year-old girl. The Baba’s attire in the movie is similar to Pujyapad Santshri Asaram Bapu. Hence, it can be deduced that this movie is related to Him.
