JuD chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed has filed a plea in a court in Lahore, seeking ban on the release of Bollywood movie Phantom in Pakistan, alleging that the film, set on post-26/11 attacks and global terrorism, contains "filthy propaganda" against the country.
In the petition filed in the Lahore High Court, Saeed, through his advocate A K Dogar, pleaded that the Saif Ali Khan-starrer film, which is scheduled to release on 28 August, has "venom against Pakistan and Jamaat-ud-Dawa".
Based on crime author Hussain Zaidi's novel "Mumbai Avengers", Phantom is set in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and deals with global terrorism.
Directed by Kabir Khan, the film stars Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif.
The movie will hit screens in India on 28 August 2015.
