BARNALA: Trouble for Sunny Deol starrer film 'Mohalla Assi' escalated on Monday as an FIR was registered here against Sunny Deol, and director, producer and other actors of the film for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of people. The complaint was lodged at Barnala Sadar police station three days after the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court issued a notice to the censor board on the promos of the film.

Punjab Kanwar Sangh filed a case against the film. The outfit's president, Tarlochan Bansal, a resident of Tapa town in Barnala, said, "Some derogatory dialogues about the Hindu religion and lord Shiva have been used in the film. An actor impersonating Shiva has been shown clicking pictures with others by charging Rs 100, which has hurt our sentiments."
