"I have instructed additional DG Deven Bharti to look into complaints from several individuals and organisations objecting to the film," Minister of State for Home Ram Shinde said.

"I have instructed the police officer to check if there is any objectionable content in the film," the minister told reporters in Mumbai.

Bajrang Dal activists had recently vandalised theatres in Gujarat exhibiting the film for making "fun" of Hindu gods and godmen as well as asked that its screening to be stopped.

Besides Gujarat, right-wing activists also protested in Agra and Mau in Uttar Pradesh as well as Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, tearing up posters of the film.

There were reports that one theatre in south Mumbai's Parel has stopped screening of the film.
