The Madras High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to producer A M Rathnam of Boys. in response to a petition filed by an academician, Saraswathi.

The film, directed by Shankar, tells the story of five college boys and their sexual awakening. 

More on Boys: Images: Boys will be boys! Images: Boys, boys, boys!

She alleged the film, which released last month, contained objectionable scenes and should be banned.

She also asked for the master rolls of the film to be produced in court and pointed out that Rathnam had obtained censorship clearance for the film, which is in Tamil, from Andhra Pradesh. She contended that Rathnam had deleted a few scenes from the film following an uproar about its alleged vulgarity.

The Bench has now directed the central government's Senior Standing Counsel Madana Gopal Rao to review Boys and submit a report about its alleged objectionable portions.

The petition will be heard on October 9.
