Shivaay is slated to release on October 28. The petitioner said a song in the film shows scantily dressed girls dancing which hurts the religious feeling of Hindus and sought prosecution of Devgn and Nihalani under sections 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings) of IPC. 

However, another complaint has been filed against Shivaay song 'Bolo Har Har Har' by a Mumbai based lawyer for insulting Lord Shiva. It remains to be seen what happens in that case.
