It's been close to two months since Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer Bajirao Mastani hit screens. One of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's most ambitious projects, the film faced a lot of difficulties and criticism for distorting historical facts. And for the very same reason, the film and its makers often ran into some legal trouble or the other at the time of its release.

But looks like the troubled times are still not over for the film as Madhya Pradesh High Court has recently issued legal notice to SLB, Ranveer, Deepika, and even to broadcasting ministry and the censor board. This has happened because the script was apparently not shown to the decedents of the royal family. Tamkeen Ali Bahadur, a descendant of Bajirao Mastani has moved the Jabalpur bench of the court claiming that this movie has done an irreparable loss to his family's social image by showing distorted facts. He said the censor board was asked either to show them the complete movie or to share a copy of the movie's script before its release, but to no avail. 

All those who have been issued the notice have been asked by the Jabalpur bench to submit an explanation within four weeks. Tamkeen Ali is a decedent of Shamsher Ali, son of Mastani, who became the Nawab of Banda.

Well, let's just hope the ongoing controversies finally end for the movie.
