"In the trailer of the movie we have seen a scene that Sanjay Dutt was in such a barrack of a jail in which the toilet overflowed. As per the information available, the government and jail authorities are taking a very well care of all the barracks of the jails. We never heard any such incidents anywhere. Earlier as well many movies were released based on the gangsters where in the jails were covered but never had seen such incidents. (sic)"

"This particular scene will make a bad impression about the jails and jails authorities of the Indians (sic),"

"If there is no action about the same by you then we are left with no option to approach honourable court to put stay on the release of the movie (sic)."

In the trailer, Ranbir can be seen sleeping inside jail when suddenly the toilet starts overflowing and floods his cell. The movie is based on the life and times of Sanjay Dutt. 

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Sanju is slated to release on June 29.
