The Supreme Court on Thursday directed that no coercive action is to be taken in any part of the country against Salman Khan Ventures Pvt ltd, the producer of the upcoming Bollywood movie Loveyatri.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra considered the submission that the movie, slated for all India release on October 5, has been cleared by the Censor Board of Film Certification and, despite this, an FIR has been registered in Bihar and a criminal complaint is pending in Vadodara in Gujarat.

The film, which was earlier named Loveratri, was changed to Loveyatri by the producers following a barrage of private criminal complaints alleging that the name has hurt the religious sentiment of Hindus and sounded like Navratri.

The apex court bench said no coercive action, relating to the content and the name of the movie, shall be taken against it.

The movie stars Salman's brother-in-law Ayush Sharma and Warina Hussain.
