Gangster Abu Salem, who is currently serving a life sentence for his role in the 1993 Bombay blasts, reportedly sent a legal notice to the makers of Bollywood movie Sanju seeking publication of contradiction to the wrong information about him in the movie.
A leading news agency has reported that Salem, through his lawyer, has pointed to incorrect information on him depicted in the movie and has also sought an apology for the same. He has given the moviemakers 15 days to act on his notice and in case they don't, he would file a defamation case against them.
The notice names filmmakers Raju Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and several others.
Reportedly, Salem has taken objection to a scene in which Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Sanjay Dutt in the movie - confesses to possessing arms around the time of the 1993 communal riots in Mumbai. Salem's lawyer has cited that his client's involvement is implied in the scene and said that he never supplied Sanjay Dutt with any weapons.
Sanju has earned almost Rs 334 crores since its release on June 29.
