New Delhi: A Delhi University professor has approached the Delhi High Court seeking to ban the screening of recently released "Black and White" alleging that the movie portrays his community in a bad light.

Dr Khalid Alvi, Head of Urdu Department in Zakir Hussain College, has contended in his petition that the Anil Kapoor starrer portrays his community in a bad light and its screening should be stayed.

"The producer, director and the script writer have intentionally produced the film with an anti-Muslim angle," he said. He alleged the film shows his community as harbouring terrorists.

The film, produced and directed by Subhash Ghai, was released all over the country early this month.

The petitioner said that his character had been depicted in a bad light in the film which was very disturbing.

The students and the staff of the college were stunned and shocked that the college was used with such a malafide and inimical intention of the film-maker, hand in glove with the censor board, to malign their community as anti-national and unpatriotic, the petition said.
