Bombay HC refuses to stay release of Mumbai Saga
The Hindu
In a relief to actor John Abraham, the Bombay High Court on Thursday refused to stay the release of the film Mumbai Saga on March 19. Mr. Abraham stars in the film, which is alleged to be based on the lives of jailed gangsters Ravi Bohra and Amar Naik.
A Bench of Justices Amjad Sayed and Madhav Jamdar was hearing a plea filed by the family members of Ravi Bohra and Amar Naik. The latter is the brother of the infamous gangster Ashwin Naik, who is imprisoned for kidnapping and extortion. The plea sought an ad-interim stay on the release of the film on the ground that, “The release, publication and telecast of the film would lead to violation of right to privacy, fair trial and liberty of the two.” It also sought that the filmmakers should share the copy of the script with the petitioners before the release of the film.More Related News
