The Supreme Court on Wednesday referred to the pendency of several cases against Bollywood movie
Gangubai Kathiawadi, and suggested that changing the name of the movie may be considered by the makers of the film.
The Alia Bhatt-starrer, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bhansali Production Private Ltd, is scheduled for release this Friday.
A bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and J K Maheswari suggested the name change to the respondents which included the production house.
"List on February 24, on top of the Board," the bench ordered while deciding to hear the plea of Babuji Rawji Shah, who claims to be the adoptive son of Gangubai, against the Bombay high court's order declining him various reliefs such as interim stay on the release of the movie.
Shah had earlier moved the high court seeking an order restraining the writers/publishers of the novel from creating any third-party rights or writing any other story on the life of his mother (Gangubai Kathiawadi). -- PTI
