Controversy Surrounds 'The Taj Story': A Legal Battle Unfolds

A BJP leader from Ayodhya, Rajneesh Singh, has filed a complaint against the upcoming film ‘The Taj Story.’ He claims the film is based on his court petition regarding the Taj Mahal. Singh seeks a ban, citing intellectual rights violations and potential social unrest. The film features Paresh Rawal.

A legal clash has erupted over the Hindi film 'The Taj Story' as BJP spokesperson Rajneesh Singh from Ayodhya accuses the filmmakers of infringing on his intellectual rights. Singh has approached the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, along with the Central Board of Film Certification, demanding a ban on the movie.

Singh alleges the film is based on a petition he filed in the Allahabad High Court, seeking the opening of rooms in the Taj Mahal he claims were once part of a temple. He argues the film's promotional material misleadingly references his legal case without permission, violating his rights.

The complaint emphasizes the potential for social unrest and interference with judicial matters should the film be released. Singh demands an inquiry into the film's script to ensure no unauthorized use of his petition occurs, urging a stay on any promotional activities until a resolution is reached.
