Separately, the Christian community has objected to a scene showing hooliganism inside a church while people pray. They claim it disrespects their faith and the sanctity of the pulpit. Though protests were stopped by police, a formal complaint has been submitted to authorities demanding a ban.
The controversies have affected the film’s image, even as it performs well at the box office.
