Rajkummar Rao who was last seen in ‘Maalik’ got a lot of love for his performance. The actor whose film ‘Stree 2’ got a huge response at the box office has now gotten relief in his 2017 ‘Behen Hogi Teri’ case. For those not in the know, Rajkummar was a part of this film which starred him alongside Shruti Hassan. The film’s poster saw him dressed as Lord Shiva on a silver motorbike with Uttar Pradesh number plate. Several symbolic religious elements like moon crescent and rudraksh beads also featured in the poster and thus, this led to a strong outrange in Jalandhar.A complaint was filed against the makers for hurting religious sentiments. Infact, director Ajay K Pannalal and producer Tony D’souza were also arrested in Mumbai and later were granted bail. Meanwhile, the case was still ongoing as Rajkummar had to appear before court on July 28 in connection to this case. After he appeared before the court, the actor has been granted conditional bail. Another hearing took place today, July 30 but today, the actor wasn’t present at court. Now Rajkummar’s advocate has shared details about the case.

Advocate Darshan Dayal said, according to ANI, “The FIR was registered under Section 295A (act done with the intention of inciting religious sentiments), Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) and Section 67 of the IT Act, due to which non-bailable warrants were also issued against the actor.”Dayal further said, “The challan was presented in the court in the absence of the actor. Since the address in the summons was in Delhi, he was not informed about appearing in the court. Actually, the actor is living in Mumbai. On the other hand, Shruti Hassan was acquitted in the case after the court found her innocent. Ajay K Pannalal (Director of the film) has reached the court today, whose petition has been filed in the court.“Meanwhile, Rajkummar argued that the film had received a Central Board of Film Certification certificate, indicating that the content of the film was not legally objectionable. The certificate also said that his freedom of expression was protected under Article 19(1)(a), according to Darshan.Media reports say the Censor Board (CBFC) had initially asked the filmmakers to remove a scene where Rajkummar, dressed as Lord Shiva, falls off a bike, as it might offend religious sentiments. However, the film was eventually cleared with a U/A certificate and released without any cuts on June 9, 2017, with the scene included.
