Because of Money involved. Celebrities endorse such Ads only for money. Now he's in trouble. There is a possibility , he may be arrested.

When we wear footwear, it gives full protection to our feet as well as the entire body from encountering objects which may hurt us like Lord Vishnu who protects his people from various problems that come in our way. Dhoni just gave a pose to an advertisement in a business magazine as Lord Vishnu holding several items including a shoe in his hand. Shoe is not a worst thing, it is the protector of human being. Then, why Hindu people think that he is denigrating their favorite god Vishnu.  

It's a wrong interpretation. For Hindus Gods holding shoes in hands is blasphemy. Whereas, wearing the shoes by the mythological characters is OK

It is wrong to hurt the sentiments and feelings of any community. Though Mr. Dhoni is also from the same community, it is not acceptable that he presents something in wrong way.

It's lure of Money and the " who cares " attitude of Dhoni lead to do this insane endorsing. He gets  crores of rupees. But the court is serious about the issue. As a result, Dhoni has been issued a Non Bailable Warrant.

Now it is the time when people like Dhoni should be punished, so that a message between the public can be sent that anyone who is doing wrong will be punished whether he is a celebrity or a common man.

Earning money through endorsements is not a sin. Dhoni has done such endorsements many times earlier too. But none of those endorsements related to religion . This time it's different. Dhoni has gone too far. He has hurt the sentiments of Hindus. He is also a Hindu. But big money made him blind. It's not all, he has not   responded to the court summons, contributing to court contempt. The judges took this very seriously and issued Non Bailable Warrants. He deserves this.

Would Christians feel it is ok if Jesus Christ was depicted the same way in an ad with a shoe in his hand ? or a Jain or a Buddhist feels there is nothing wrong if an advertisement is made with their respective gods with shoes in hands ? It is all a matter of belief that needs to be respected ..

Jesus Christ has been depicted in many ways, but many Christian nations simply do not bother. In India an underwear is named dollar, no American has ever protested, but if it was named  rupee by an American company, one can imagine the furore it would have caused. How long will we keep going back under cover of faith.
