Aamir Khan, Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood, has kicked up a storm by appearing in his "baby-suit" in the poster of his upcoming film 'PK' with only an old Murphy radio covering his modesty.

Naked Aamir Khan staring out of the poster has heightened the curiosity for the movie which brings back the hit combination of director Raju Hirani and Aamir.

The two jointly gave one of Bollywood's biggest hit, '3 Idiots'.

The plot of 'PK', which has been kept tightly under wraps, is rumoured to be about a bizarre man and his absurd take on various situations.

Aamir's appearance without clothes standing on a railway track has kick-started one of the biggest promotional gimmicks in the industry.

But this promotional gimmick lands 'PK' into legal trouble.

A lawyer in India Saturday moved court against Aamir and a Hindi daily for publishing the poster of his upcoming movie.

The petitioner alleged that the film's poster would incite "sexual violence" and encourage "obscenity". August 7 has been set as the next date of hearing.

The film starring Aamir Khan along with Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput is set to release on December 19 in India, during Christmas this year.

Indians are known to have not taken nudity on silver-screen very sportingly in the past.

Skin show by actors (male) has always invited unwarranted attention and invited the ire of the moral police.

On the other hand, fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan at the press conference of his TV shows 'Got Talent World Stage Live' pokes fun at the poster.

When the host of the show Mini Mathur asked Shah Rukh if he wanted to show his hidden talent under his belt which was not known to the people yet and he wanted to show the world, SRK said: "Now it's getting vulgar...show the world what you have under the belt (laughs)...muje aisa laga PK poster ki baat kar rahe hai hum (I thought we are talking about 'PK' poster)."

When a reporter asked whether Shah Rukh has seen Aamir's talent by shedding his clothes on PK poster, SRK said: "Idhar talent bola teek hai but isse talent mat bolna (You can call this, referring his show, talent but not that, referring to Aamir's nude poster)."
