A local court in Muzaffarpur has issued summons to Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan to appear before it on May 30 in connection with a kissing scene in Dhoom 2 .
District Judge HK Shrivastava Friday ordered issuing of summonses to them after taking cognizance of a complaint petition filed by an advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha.
In his petition, Ojha alleged Ash, Hrithik, producer of the film Aditya Chopra and director Sanjay Gadhvi had hurt the sensibilities of the audiences by the "obscene" kissing scene.
The court also ordered issuing of notices to Bihar government and proprietor and manager of a local theatre for allowing screening of the film despite "obscene" content.
The summonses have been issued under sections 292 (sale of obscene book etc.) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.
