MUMBAI: After successfully dealing with copyright suits, Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' is facing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) which seeks 'A' (only for adults) certificate for the film.
The film, released last month, has too much violence to be certified as U/A, claims petitioner Pratibha Naithani.
The PIL, filed "in the interest of children", is expected to come up for hearing next week.
Naithani, a lecturer at St Xaviers College in the city, had earlier taken on TV channels for showing adult movies. Her PIL forced channels in the country to stop telecasting A-certified films.
In the present petition, Naithani claims that the film has "intensely affected children across India" and cited a report about a three-year-old in Ahmedabad who inscribed the words 'Revenge' on his body, allegedly inspired by similar tattooing by Amir's character in the movie.
