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.
