MUMBAI: A scene from the trailer of the Ranveer Singh-starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar has landed the film in possible legal trouble.

The trailer features a scene where Shalini Pandey’s character visits a gynecologist with her family. During the sequence, Boman Irani’s character, who is the head of the family, questions the doctor about the sex of the baby as he wants Ranveer to have a son. As the trailer continues, Ranveer is also seen asking the doctor about the baby’s sex, and in response, she uses a code meaning that it is a female foetus.

The plea filed by advocate Pawan Prakash Pathak stated that while the film tackles the subject of female foeticide and promotes Save Girl Child cause, its trailer advertises the use of ultrasound technique for sex selection, which is against the law and prohibited under Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994.
