Controversy Shadows 'The Taj Story' Movie Release

The Delhi High Court denied an urgent hearing for a PIL to halt the release of 'The Taj Story,' a movie alleged to propagate a politically-influenced, fabricated narrative. The petition also seeks to prevent communal unrest and mandates disclaimers highlighting the film's disputed historical accuracy.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday declined a petition for an urgent hearing to suspend the Friday release of 'The Taj Story.' The PIL claims the film promotes a fabricated narrative for political gain.

Charged with potentially inciting communal tension, the petition demands state agencies prevent unrest related to the film's release.

The film's producers are asked to display disclaimers in promotions and credits, alerting audiences to its contested historical portrayal.
