The Bombay High Court, on Friday, directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine Shah Rukh Khan's Zero. It has been alleged that the film has hurt sentiments of the Sikh community.

The Court further asked the CBFC to submit the report before December 18. The Court's decision comes in response to a petition filed by Amritpal Singh Khalsa, who sought removal of scenes where Khan has been shown wearing a 'Kirpan' (article of Sikh faith) in the film. Khalsa states that the "display of the Kirpan in such a way is blasphemous."
