toi on madhubala landing in trouble

The much-hyped TV show on the real and reel romance between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, "Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon", has met with not one but two objections, and from completely different quarters. 

On one hand, Madhubala's younger sisterZahida has objected to the seriel, citing that she or anybody else from the late actresses' family was not approached and their permission sought before the channel went ahead with this story. 

Sources say that Zahida made many attempts to contact the channel and the production house, but to no avail, following which, she has sent a legal notice to the channel. 

And this is just a part of the flak that Colors' is facing. "Madhubala..." was to replace "Veer Shivaji" that is coming to an end quite abruptly. "VS" going off-air has not gone down well with a political outfit Sambhaji Brigade, in Maharashtra. The organization is named after Sambhaji, son of Shivaji. In fact, the activists have gone so far as to threaten to disrupt the shooting of the serial and damage the sets if "VS" shuts down. 

Sources from the production house say that the channel has been getting threatening calls from the activists for almost a week now. Edited by MS-meghasharma - 11 years ago
