Producer and director KC Bokadia’s Dirty Politics has got itself into two serious legal problems just days before its scheduled release.
The Patna High Court issued a ban on Dirty Politics for allegedly containing an objectionable shot of Mallika Sherawat draped in the tri-colour (India’s national colours). That is not the end of Bokadia’s troubles.
In Rajasthan, the slain nurse Bhanwari Devi’s son has obtained a stay order against the film, as it is allegedly based in Devi’s life.
It’s a known fact that any film that purports to depict real-life characters in Bollywood tends to get itself into a serious legal situation.
Bokadia said last week: “My distributors are panicking. It’s just 48 hours before release and we’re faced with these huge legal problems. On top of all my woes there are the Holi holidays from Thursday. If I don’t meet my Friday release I am in a serious financial mess.”
About films on real life getting into trouble, Bokadia said: “I’ve repeatedly said Dirty Politics is not about Bhanwari Devi. If people still want to make their presumptions and harass me then what can I do?” – BollywoodHungama.com
