The film has been criticised by some viewers.
Viewers from India took to social media to share their disappointment in the scene, with journalist, political analyst and author Uday Mahurkar taking issue with the use of the religious text.
He posted a letter to Christopher Nolan on Twitter, writing: "We do not know the motivation and logic behind this unnecessary scene on life of a scientist. But this is a direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus, rather it amounts to waging a war on the Hindu community and almost appears to be part of a larger conspiracy by anti-Hindu forces."
