Ranveer Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar has caught the attention of the fans following the release of the movie’s trailer. The High Court has issued a notice to the makers for not inserting disclaimers in the film.

The Delhi High Court today asked the makers to insert a disclaimer in certain scenes concerning the illegality of the practice of sex determination of a foetus. It has given the movie the greenlight for its release. Jayeshbhai Jordaar is releasing in theatres this week, as scheduled.

“We appreciate the message but you have to tell people that it is an offence,” said the bench consisting of Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri. The bench has asked the makers to add a disclaimer in two scenes.

The relevant portion of the movie was also played for the court during the hearing. A prominent disclaimer will be shown in both English and Hindi during the questioned scenes.
