The notice
refers to a scene which was allegedly based on facts that were false. The
notice states, “The scene where Ranbir
Kapoor (pictured as Sanjay Dutt) gives a confessional statement about
possession of arms and ammunition during communal tension around our country in
1993, is defaming my client (Salem), as my client never supplied the arms and
ammunition, as alleged to Sanjay Dutt, as pictured in the film,”
The notice
also claims that the gangster, Salem never met actor Sanjay Dutt or supplied
arms and ammunition to him. And he feels that the content and narration of that
part of Sanju is extremely defamatory attacking Abu Salem’s reputation.
The gangster
is currently serving a life sentence in jail after being convicted in the 1993
Mumbai blasts. He has also been sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment
in 2002 extortion case by Delhi Court.
