Exclusive: Asaram Bapu slaps legal notice on the makers of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai: Deets inside | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

Earlier this week, acting powerhouse Manoj Bajpayee shared the trailer of his upcoming film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, where he plays a lawyer, who takes on a powerful Godman for a rape case of a minor girl under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act. As per the trailer, the film is inspired by real-life incidents. The trailer received a good response from the audience, who quickly interpreted that the Godman in the film is none other than Asaram Bapu, as Manoj’s character in the film is called PC Solanki and it is the same lawyer who fought the case against Asaram and sent him to jail.
Now Asaram Bapu, through his charitable trust, has slapped a legal notice on the makers of the film, asking the courts to issue prohibitory orders against the promotion and release of the film. The lawyers state that the film is highly objectionable and defamatory towards their client and can tarnish his reputation and hit sentiments of his devotees and followers.
We got in touch with producer Asif Shaikh of Practical Productions, and he told us, “Yes, we have got the notice and our lawyers will decide the next move.”
Adding more, he stated, “We have made a biopic on PC Solanki and I had bought the rights from him to make this film. Now, if someone is saying that the film is based on them, they can think whatever they can and we can’t stop that. Only the film will be able to tell the truth, when it comes out.”
