Hyderabad: Shooter Asghar Ali Khan is contemplating legal action against makers of movie "Sherni", starring Vidya Balan, for, what he called, "twisting of facts" relating to the killing of tigress Avni. Not satisfied with the reply received from the film makers to the legal notice sent a fortnight ago, he is planning next course of action. "We are consulting the legal advisers. We have not yet taken a final call," Asghar Ali Khan told IANS on Wednesday. Asghar Ali, who shot dead Avni in Maharashtra's Yavatmal in 2018, is son of well-known shooter Nawab Sahafath Ali Khan. He alleged that the movie projected them as "trigger-happy shooters". "We had gone there at the invitation of the government and killed the man eater tigress which had mauled to death 14 persons but we were projected as if we were hunting for fun," he said.
