Latif’s Son Claims Father Shown in Bad Light, Moves to Court against Shah Rukh Khan


Ahmadabad: An Ahmadabad court on Thursday issued defamation notice against actors Shah Rukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar, director Rahul Dholakia and four others, claiming that the movie shows gangster Adul Latif in a negative avatar.
Latif’s son Mushtaq Shaikh asserted that SRK’s upcoming movie Raees, based on the gangster’s life, defamed him as it showed he was running a brothel and using women bootleggers, reports said. Khan is playing the lead role in this film.
According to reports, Ahmadabad city civil court judge R.T. Vatsani had issued the notice against Red Chillies Entertainment Private Limited and co-producers Excel Entertainment and Rahul Dholakia Productions. Khan along with the others who has received the court order has to file their replies within May 11. Following the defamation notice, Mustaq also sought injunction against the release date and promotional material of Raees.
Following the complaint against the film and his actor, director and production house, advocate Harsh Gajjar said: “There were 97 cases lodged against Latif in his life time. These cases were for bootlegging and serious offences under TADA, however, at no point he ran a brother or used women for delivering liquor. By attributing such false claims in the movie trailer the respondents have defamed the family’s image in the society.”
According to reports, Raees will portray the story of Raees Khan, a goon who operated in the 1980’s Gujarat. With dozens of cases against the gangster who was a part of Dawood Ibrahim’s gang, Raees was shot dead by police while he was trying to escape from the Sabarmati jail. The film is scheduled to release on July 3, this year.
