Mumbai, Maharashtra

The dispute over the title of Marathi film Shikshanachya Aicha Gho was amicably resolved on Thursday after producers of the film agreed to put a disclaimer in the film saying they did not want to hurt sentiments of the viewers or insult motherhood.
The film will be released as per schedule on Friday. The Akhil Bhartiya Maratha Mahasangh, a social-political outfit, had taken objection to the film's title. They alleged that alleging that the term aicha gho (mother's husband) was derogatory and was used as an abuse. They had threatened to stall the screening of the film if the title was not changed.
