Paa gets sued

A lawsuit has been filed in a court in Patna, Bihar, charging Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan with violating the disabilities act through his latest film, Paa, in which he plays a 13-year-old boy afflicted with progeria, which accelerates the ageing process.

Big B has been accused of poking fun at people with disabilities.

"I filed a case in the court demanding a probe into whether Paa violated the act or not," lawyer Shruti Singh said on Saturday.

"My stand is simple: If it violated the disability act, the authorities should act against the producer and actors of the film for making a joke of disabled people."
