Ban screening of film 'Lakshmi Bomb'

Actor Akshay Kumar's film 'Lakshmi Bomb' is set to be released on November 9 on the backdrop of Diwali. It is intentionally named 'Lakshmi Bomb' on the backdrop of Diwali. Name of this film is denigrating Shri Lakshmi Devi, the deity of millions of Hindus. 

The name of the hero in this film is 'Asif', while the name of the heroine has been shown as 'Priya Yadav'. Thus, the film purposefully encourages 'Love jihad' by displaying the relationship between Muslim youth and Hindu girl. 

Maharashtra government has banned the film 'Mohammad: The Messenger of God' which hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims and on the same lines, the government should also recommend a ban on the film 'Lakshmi Bomb' which insults Hindu deities.

Will those who are making a film called 'Lakshmi Bomb' on the occasion of Diwali ever dare to make a film called 'Ayesha Bomb', 'Shabina Bomb', 'Fatima Bomb' on the occasion of Eid ? Why don't the filmmakers and rulers think of the religious sentiments of Hindus as they think of the religious sentiments of Muslims? Has the bias towards Hindus now become the definition of 'Sarvadharmasamabhav' (Respect for all religions)?
