10 Movie Posters That Led To Massive Lawsuits

10. PK - Aamir Khan Sued Over "Promoting Obscenity In Society"

Sitting pretty as the fifth highest-grossing film in India, beating Avengers: Endgame in the Top 10, it's hard to imagine that the Aamir Khan-starring PK was once the subject of a lawsuit due to one of the posters used to promote the celebrated feature.

Centred around a humanoid alien (Khan) trying to get to grips with planet Earth and everything that it is to be human, including questioning superstitions and religion, one of the advertisements circulated for the feature at the time depicted a nude Khan covering himself with a stereo system.

A law student then claimed that this specific image would "promote obscenity in public", leading to an eventual lawsuit that would later be dismissed by the Supreme Court.

This clearly had little effect on the release of PK in the end, as the feature went on to become the fifth highest grossing Indian film worldwide. It also won five Producers Guild Awards and two Screen Awards.
