The trade association CAIT has complained to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs about a Flipkart commercial for the upcoming Big Billion Days sale that features Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, calling the advertisement misleading.

In its complaint to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) referred to the commercial as misleading and disparaging of the nation’s small shopkeepers. According to a statement, it has also asked for the advertisement to be taken down.

The CAIT recommended that Flipkart be penalised for false or misleading advertisement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Consumer Protection Act and that Bachchan be fined Rs. 10 lakh.

Flipkart did not respond to an email that was sent to them. For remarks, Bachchan could not be reached.

According to Section 2(47), Flipkart has misled the public regarding the price at which mobile phones are being made available by sellers/suppliers in the smartphone market of India, doing business through Amitabh Bachchan (endorser).

This has the effect of disparaging the goods, services, or trade of another person, CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal wrote in the complaint.

Further, he stated that the advertisement by Flipkart is misleading because it doesn’t contain truthful and honest representation and is wholly incorrect, malicious, misleading, and manipulative in accordance with Rule 4 of the Guidelines for Prevention of Misleading Advertisements and Endorsements for Misleading Advertisements, 2022.

Sumit Agarwal, CAIT India’s National Secretary and Youth Convenor, tweeted about the situation.

The advertisement featuring Bachchan touting Flipkart’s impending Big Billion Day sale and informing customers that bargains on mobiles won’t be available offline at retail stores was criticised last week by CAIT.

The Big Billion Days sale which is scheduled to start from October 8, midnight, and will end on October 15, midnight, on Flipkart.

Aamir Khan is getting ready for Sitaare Zameen Par, his upcoming film. The actor took a break following Lal Singh Chaddha‘s failure on the box office. The shooting of Sitare Zameen Par is reportedly set to start in Delhi the next month, in May.

Aamir Khan will be traveling to the national capital to shoot his upcoming film, according per a report. Aamir Khan will fly down to Delhi next month for Sitare Zameen Par‘s shoot, a source was quoted as saying. For the shooting of his film, he will travel to the capital with about 11 child actors. Other notable cast members will also be there; their specifics are still pending.

The schedule is set for one month, between May and June, the same source continued. For the shoot, the children will take part in a variety of Paralympic Games. Several locations in Delhi, such as Lal Qila, Purani Dilli, Lodhi Garden, and Thayagraj stadium, will be used for filming. They are filming it in several parts of Delhi since they don’t want all the youngsters to go to the NCR.

This film will make you laugh, it will entertain you, Aamir Khan said when he unveiled Sitare Zameen Par at an event following the box office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. However, the topic remains the same (as Taare Zameen Par), which is why they have carefully considered their options for a similar name. They are carrying on this theme since although they all have shortcomings and flaws, they also all have something unique to offer. Those nine boys, who have their own problems, assisted him in Sitare Zameen Par, he added.

Darsheel Safary portrayed the dyslexic character Ishaan Awasthi in the film Taare Zameen Par, while Aamir Khan played the role of art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, in the film.
