Writer Sushila Kumari is spitting fire. She is very annoyed with Madhur Bhushan for running down her book in a public notice issued a few days ago. Tutu Sharma’s upcoming film based on Madhubala is based on this book; Sharma having bought the rights of Kumari’s work.
When contacted, advocate Lavin Hirani, who is representing Kumari in this war, told ETimes, “While it’s too early to comment on the outcome of the dispute, the claims being made my clients is that the book and the subsequent film being produced are based on facts and information that are in the public domain since as early as the 1960s which remain unchallenged till date. Even otherwise no one can claim exclusivity let alone ownership to develop/produce any books, scripts, films based on such widely known facts and information in relation to the deceased personality. This is not just limited to India. Had that been so, we wouldn’t have seen the release of numerous books/films including biopics based on several famous sports heroes, artists and politicians across the world.”
