LUCKNOW: UP Chief Minister Mayawati late on Friday evening banned Madhuri Dixit's comeback film Aaja Nachle in Uttar Pradesh, leaving countless fans of the Bollywood actress in the state disappointed. The ban has been issued following complaints that the title song of the film contains certain casteist remarks. The CM has also written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding a countrywide ban on the film saying it hurts the sentiments of Dalits. Principal secretary of the CM Shailesh Krishna told TOI , "Certain words in the title song are derogatory to a particular Scheduled Caste community." However, he added that the producers could run the film if they remove the "objectionable" song.
