Madhubala biopic: Tutu Sharma’s response to Madhur Bhushan’s objection, “No one can claim copyright on the life of a public figure, not even his own kin” – Exclusive – Times of India

A new race, err, war has begun Bollywood, it is MadhubalaSister of Madhur Bhushan who is wandering from door to door to make a biopic on her sister. Running parallel to her is Padmini Kolhapure’s husband Tutu Sharma, who has bought the rights to the biography ‘Madhubala: Dard Ka Safar’. The daggers are clearly drawn, no matter how subtle they may have been so far.

Now, a few days back, Madhur Bhushan sent out a loud and clear message that one should not attempt any kind of project – based on or inspired by Madhubala – without Madhubala’s approval. She told Pinkvilla, “Please don’t spoil the moment for us… If people don’t heed my requests, I have strict legal action and prosecute them for violating my family’s rights.” There will be no choice but to. Also this kind of emotional and mental harassment. All those people who deal with this kind of project will be dragged to court. I am a fighter and will fight like this too.” This came soon after Tutu confirmed etimes That he is planning to make a biographical film. Clearly Madhur was primarily referring to Tutu.

But Tutu seems uninteresting. When contacted this afternoon, she told ETimes, “The biopic that I am announcing is based on a biographical book titled ‘Madhubala: Dard Ka Safar’, written/written by Ms. Sushila Kumari, which has been in the public domain for many years. is in the domain. Madhubalaji is a well-known personality and it is important that her story be made on celluloid for public viewing. I believe it is well established law that no copyright on the life of a public figure Can’t claim it, not even their own kin. If it was so we would not have seen so many biopics made on prominent personalities in the history of our country. Any claim is being made and already my legal Being taken care of by the team.”

Will Tutu discuss Madhubala’s personal life in the biopic? “I’ll do what’s in the book.” Well, the book contains aspects of Madhubala’s life! See who wins. The race will soon pick up pace. Just heard, Tutu is planning to start Madhubala biopic this year.
