Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif starrer Zero is in trouble from Sikh religious group. The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) General Secretary and BJP MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa on November 5, filed a criminal complaint against Shah Rukh and the others. He alleges that the superstar has hurt religious sentiments of the Sikh community in the poster of his film by showing him wearing Kirpan and presenting it as a simple dagger.
Sirsa also said that Sikhs cannot tolerate their religious tenets or articles of faith in bad light. He said that any film star or a film cannot hurt Sikh sentiments by holding the pious and important religious articles frivolously. He said that the poster of the film Zero shows Shah Rukh wearing the ‘Kirpan’ and the poster also shows him in a lighter mood thereby showing Kirpan as an ordinary dagger.

He told an entertainment portal that Sikhs cannot tolerate such mischievous and frivolous acts in films or in real life towards the important articles of their faith. He also added that Sikh Guru Sahiban has empowered the community to fight and voice their disagreement if such situations ever arise. Apparently, he has asked the Central Board Of film Certificate and Shah Rukh Khan for the sequence to be removed from the trailer and the film immediately.
Zero is directed by Aanand L Rai and is all set to release on December 21.
