Manish Gupta had heaved a sigh of relief when the Indian Board of Film Certification filed an affidavit stating that there are no similarities between his movie Rahasya and the Aarushi murder case. But the respite was short lived as after watching a preview of the film, the Talwar family has decided to continue their legal effort to stall the film’s release. “We are definitely challenging the Censor Board’s claims,” says Vandana Talwar, dentist
Rajesh Talwar’s sister who watched the film Rahasya on behalf of her brother and sister-in-law Nupur, who are serving a life sentence in the double murder of their daughter Aarushi and help
Hemraj.
READ: 'Rahasya' not about Aarushi Talwar murder case “I can’t state which scenes have affirmed this decision because of an affidavit that I signed, which bars me from revealing any details but we are taking this case forward,” she told Mirror.
The case is up for hearing again in the Bombay High Court on April 17. The Talwars had approached the Court to stall the release of the movie produced by UVI Films Production Ltd, on the grounds that it is based on “distorted facts” surrounding the death of Aarushi.
