Something new happens every single day. But in the case of the recent Kangana Ranaut-Simran controversy, the last twenty four hours saw three new twists to the tale back to back. The latest development is that filmmaker Ketan Mehta has sent a legal notice to Kangana Ranaut alleging that the actor connived with producer Kamal Jain and hijacked his Rani of Jhansi – The Warrior Queen project.
Ketan Mehta has slapped a legal notice on Kangana Ranaut for stealing his script to make a biopic on Rani Lakshmibai. Mehta has shot off a legal notice to Manikarnika makers demanding that the shoot be stopped. What she has done is unacceptable. She has stolen my project that I worked on for over a decade,
As per a MidDay report, responding to Ketan’s notice, Manikarnika producer Kamal Jain says, Our lawyers have sent an interim response to him. His notice is inaccurate and baseless. We were aware that Ketan’s film was in discussion for the past five years. But, you can’t hold back a talent for that.
The producer also points out that Kangana wasn’t bound by any contract to do the film with Ketan. She didn’t sign any agreement with him. He had presented his script, which she may have not found feasible. Only a legal document can bind actors to a project. There were five films on Bhagat Singh. No one sued anyone then.
