Producers may drag Zareen Khan to court for defamatory remarks

Zareen Khan recently lashed out at the makers of Akshar 2, saying that she had been initially assured that it would be a “clean film,” but was then asked to “wear minimal clothes in every frame.” She also accused them of certain angles that blurred the line between sensuous and vulgarity, the longer duration of kisses, and of director Anant Mahadevan being clueless about what he wanted after a certain point of time. She also said that they were very casual about security during the promotions of the film, and the result she almost got molested in a mob.

Producer Narendra Bajaj is planning to take Zareen to court. According to a news reports, he said, “I will legally pursue the matter after consultation with my counsel.”

He also said that Zareen was kept in the loop about the film, since the beginning. “A bound script was given to her and nothing was changed since. As for the clothes, she tried everything in Mumbai before we left for the schedule in Mauritius and she approved the clothes. So, I don’t understand her comments,” he added, “Regarding vulgarity, we don’t come from that school and everything was done with the consent of the actor and in the boundaries of the CBFC,” he added.

Aksar 2, starring Zareen Khan, Gautam Rode and Abhinav Shukla, released to disastrous response last Friday.
