Kolhapur (Maharashtra), July 11 : Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) activists Monday protested outside two cinema halls here exhibiting the latest Aamir Khan production "Delhi Belly" due to its "vulgar and objectionable" content, police said.
Over 50 angry NCP activists, led by local corporators Anil Pharat and Prakash Gaondi, created ruccus at the Padma and Parvati cinema halls where the afternoon shows had started.
They shouted slogans, tore off the movie posters and banners and attempted to barge into the theatre premises, demanding cancellation of the show.
Their ire was also directed at the censor board, which they said had cleared objectionable dialogues, explicit erotic scenes and the song "DK Bose".
The protesters demanded deletion of the song, offensive dialogues and explicit scenes on grounds that they corrupted the mind of the youth, especially college students, who have been queuing up to watch the movie.
Police said that around 20 NCP activists were detained and additional security has been provided at the two cinema halls.
An officer from Kolhapur's Laxmipuri police station said that the NCP had told the two theatre managements and the police Sunday that the party members will demonstrate if the shows were not cancelled.
Mumbai, Jul 7: Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan celebrated the huge success of 'Delhi Belly', made his banner, along with the cast and crew of the newly-released movie last night.
Speaking on the occasion, Aamir Khan said ''It feels great to see that the movie on which we have worked hard, has made people laugh. The hard work is totally worth it''.
He went on to thank everyone, from the writer to the director, to the actors as well as the technicians.
''At the end of the day, no matter what we do, it is the media that makes us or breaks us. The media has played a vital role in the success of the film'', Aamir said.
Actor Vir Das, who plays Arup in the movie, told UNI, ''Going bald for this film and dancing to the song 'Jaa Chudail' was the most difficult thing that I had to do, but right now I feel it has totally paid off.'' VJ and Actress Anusha Dandekar, who has a cameo in the film and can be seen shaking a leg with Aamir in the hit item song 'I hate you like I love you' said ''It was a huge surprise for me because when I signed on I had no clue I will get the chance to dance with Aamir. It was a great experience.'' Poorna Jagannathan, who earlier played a major role in the American show Royal Pains, said ''There is a huge difference between the two cinema's but luckily all my co-actors were very warm and down to earth. I experienced Chandni Chowk for the very first time and fell in love with it.'' Delhi Belly revolves around three room-mates played by Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunal Roy Kapoor, who get caught in the wrong situations at the wrong time.
The film was released on July 1 and has been declared a huge hit by trade analysts.
