Munnabhai’s Sanjay Dutts next film, which is a biopic on Maharaja of Jamnagar, an Omung Kumar directorial, has run into a legal trouble.
The daughters and legal heirs of the Maharaja, Hershad Kumari and Himanshu Kumari, have sent a cease and desist notice to filmmaker Omung Kumar, co-producer Sandeep Singh and their joint venture, Legend Studios.
“We have learnt through print and social media that a film is being made based on the life and events concerning the late Maharaja Jam Sahib Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji who is the father of my clients, specifically the incident related to the Polish refugees.
The Maharaja was a public figure and if the facts are distorted, it will tarnish his image. Hence, our clients have an objection to the film, as no permission is sought from them,’ told Kumari’s lawyer Faranaz Kharabari.
