New Delhi: A proposed film on the life of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has run into controversy with the party issuing a legal notice to filmmaker Jagmohan Mundhra.
Congress has alleged that Mundhra embarked on the project without obtaining the consent or authorisation of the party or its president and warning of “appropriate legal action in all for a”.
"The Indian National Congress denies, refutes and challenges the accuracy of your proposed venture and does not accept that it is in any manner, partially or fully, a fair or
correct portrayal of its President, Sonia Gandhi," Mundhra was informed in the notice drawn up by party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi, a senior advocate of the Supreme Court.
Sources said the notice warns of "appropriate legal action" against Mundhra, producer Sunanda Murli Manohar and Rasheed Kidwai, on whose book the film is based, if they
failed to "desist from making such misleading claims regarding authorisation, approval or consent, tacit, implied or explicit".
Mundhra, however, said he was yet to receive any such notice.
"I am yet to receive any notice and I don’t have any knowledge of it. In fact I am in London right now preparing for the film," he said.
