Shreyas Talpade and his upcoming movie Wah Taj are in a soup.
The actor has been slapped by a legal notice after one of his promotional plans backfired.
The movie in question had put up posters around in Agra that read, “Decision on Maharashtra's Tukaram Case. Taj Mahal to be closed for the tourists from 23rd September, 2016 by the Honorable Court's order."
Now a social activist Mohan Sharma, has registered a case in Delhi against the producer of Wah Taj, Abhinav Verma, director Ajit Sinha and actors Pawan Sharma, Shreyas and Manjari Phadnis for creating a havoc in Agra and "spoiling the image of the country."
Here is a copy of the letter which reads:
To,
The S.S.P.,
Agra
Dear Sir,
I beg to state that the shooting of the film Wah Taj starring Shreyas Talpade, Manjari Fadnis etc was done in February, 2014 by the director Ajit Sinha with the permission from the administration. This is to let you know that the release date of the film is 23rd September 2016. The team is using the means of pamphlets and posters to promote the film which publicises a court decision stating that Taj Mahal is being closed from 23rd September, 2016 after a decision on the case of Tukaram from Maharashtra. This misrepresentation of information and promotion is tarnishing the image of Agra tourism and also the image of India at the international level.
So it is requested to take appropriate legal action and lawsuit against the film producers Abhinav Verma and Pawan Sharma, film director Ajit Sinha, and film actor Shreyas Talpade, Manjari Fadnis etc. for the deceptive propaganda to tarnish the country's image.
Sincerely,
Madan Mohan Sharma

Talking about the same, Shreyas told a national daily, “I got to know that there has been a legal notice sent to the makers of the film, but it was just a part of the movie promotions and marketing strategy, I don't understand why it is taken to another level by blowing it up."
We will keep you updated on the same.
