Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain recently debuted with their film 'Loveyatri' and apart from their performances in the film, what has become the talk of the town is Aayush’s Gujarati in the movie.

Recently, the actors were asked to mouth some Hindi film dialogues in Gujarati. While Warina mouthed Deepika Padukone's dialogue from 'Om Shanti Om' “Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat tum kya jaano Ramesh Babu”, Aayush Sharma mouthed Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic dialogue from 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', “Kuch kuch hota hai Anjali, tum nahi samjhogi in Gujarati.”

Warina, however, was unsuccessful and it was director Abhiraj Minawala who helped her out. Aayush, on the other hand, although not perfect, did a better job.

‘Loveyatri’: Salman Khan has a valid reason to stay away from publicity of the film

Salman Khan is all set to launch his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma opposite debutant Warina Hussain in ‘Loveyatri’. Although the actor is doing all that is possible to promote the film, he is very cautiously keeping himself away from the publicity and he has a valid reason for doing the same.

Speaking about the same, Salman reportedly said that he sang one song in ‘Hero’ and he is still singing that everywhere. He also added that he is staying away from the publicity as much as possible. However he is also scared that his sister Arpita might think he is not supporting Aayush.

The makers of the film just released the song ‘Dholida’ and people were quick to compare it to Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. When asked, Salman reportedly said that there is no comparison. They will take years to reach there. Even if ‘Loveyatri’ becomes a ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’, they still have 10 more years to go.

The film is slated to hit the theatres on October 5, 2018.

Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma's 'Loveratri' faces defamation suit

Back in May, Alok Kumar, the President of Vishnu Hindu Parishad had declared in media reports that they won’t be allowing the Salman Khan produced film 'Loveratri' to be exhibited in theatres. The reason behind this was the accusation that the film’s title distorts the name of the Hindu festival Navratri.

Now, another petition has been filed against the film, this time by advocate Ajaykumar Waghmare. The lawyer has moved the Aurangabad bench of the High Court saying that the film is being released in and around the period of Navratri, which is sacrilegious in its intention. In his petition, Waghmare claims that the title of the film intentionally affects the standing of Hindus, and that the makers of the film have used the said title purely for monetary gains. He also claims that the title 'Loveratri' perverts the festival of Navratri into a festival full of ‘lewdness’ and ‘amorousness’.

The petition further seeks that the title 'Loveratri' be dropped along with certain objectionable scenes from the film, reasoning that this was nothing but an attempt to malign and project the Hindu festival and women in a derogatory manner. In addition to this, Waghmare has also sought an unconditional apology from the makers of the film for hurting Hindus and women’s sentiments.
