2.0 in legal trouble ahead of release; complaint filed against Rajinikanth for promoting anti-scientific attitude

Just two days of its big release across the world, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0 landed in some serious legal trouble. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) filed a complaint against the makers of 2.0 for promoting obscurantist and anti-scientific attitudes towards mobile phones, towers and mobile services. Akshay Kumar is playing an ornithologist who blames mobile phone users and cell-phone radiations for harming birds and animals. In the letter of complaint sent to the Central Board of Film Certification and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the complainants accused the filmmakers of falsely depicting mobile phones and mobile towers as harmful to living creatures and the environment including birds and human beings.
