Case going on in Supreme Court also
On the other hand, a bench headed by Justice Indira Banerjee in the Supreme Court suggested Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the producer of the film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, whether the name of the film can be changed? The court said that it has given this suggestion because several cases related to the ban on the film are pending in different courts for more than a year. Bhansali’s lawyer Siddharth Dave said he would take the directions, after which the matter was adjourned for hearing on Thursday.
What is the objection?
Let us tell you that two days before its release in theatres, Alia Bhatt’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi is stuck in legal trouble. The controversy over the film has now reached the Supreme Court. Actually this film is waiting for release for more than a year. Petitioner Gangubai’s adopted son Babuji Raoji Shah has requested to stop the release of the film, raising objections on several points including the name of the film. The bench of Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice JK Maheshwari is hearing this petition. Shah has also filed criminal defamation cases against the film’s producer, writer and actress Alia Bhatt. Apart from this, the people of Kamathipura have also accused the filmmaker of defaming their area.
