Entertainment Desk :
A Supreme Court lawyer named Jewel Sarkar on Saturday sent a legal notice to the creators and lead performer of the movie ‘Hawa’ including its director Mejbaur Rahman Sumon and
lead actor Chanchal Chowdhury for ‘violating tobacco control law.’
The movie didn’t show anti-tobacco messages while showcasing smoking as per the rules, said the lawyer in his legal notice. He sent the notice to the movie’s director, producer, lead character and chairman of the Censor Board.
According to the Smoking and Usage of Tobacco Products (Control) Acts 2005 if the story of a movie requires displaying any scene containing the usage of tobacco products, it can be shown by displaying a written warning about the harmful effects of usage of tobacco products.
