Such scene on Maharana Pratap song: Court pulls up Mirzapur makers in Shoorveer row
Delhi High Court asked the makers of Mirzapur: The Movie to watch the film over the Shoorveer song controversy. The court is hearing a plea seeking the song's removal from the climax featuring gangster characters.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday pulled up the makers of Mirzapur: The Movie over the use of Shoorveer, a song written as a tribute to Maharana Pratap, in a scene from the film. The court asked the lawyer representing the makers to watch the film and return the next day, asking whether his "conscience is satisfied" with the song being played against the scene.
"You please see and come tomorrow. If your conscience is satisfied... you are playing such a scene in the background song displaying Maharana Pratap," the bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia told advocate Jay K Bhardwaj, who was representing the film's makers, Excel Entertainment Pvt Ltd.
