FIR lodged against makers of PK

It seems like the under production Rajkumar Hirani film P.K. featuring Aamir Khan has run into a spot of trouble. Apparently, an FIR has been lodged against Aamir, the director and the other actors of the movie. The complaint was lodged for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of people during the shooting of the film in Chandni Chowk area.

Apparently, the locals objected to a scene that featured a man dressed as Lord Shiva pulling a rickshaw which had two burqa-clad women. Though initially they thought the actors were members of a Ram Leela party, it was only after inquiring that they realized it was for a film shoot.

The FIR was lodged under section 295 A (injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religious of any class) and 153 A of Indian Penal Code (IPC) (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language) against the actors.
