The much-awaited film starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role, Gangubai Kathiawadi was stuck in a legal controversy as a plea was filed against the movie. But it's good news for the filmmaker as the honorable court dismissed an injunction petition against the film.

The real Gangubai's adopted son wanted the film to stop as he claimed that it was defamatory to him. The film was in legal trouble after Babuji Shah, Gangubai's adopted son, filed a lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction restraining order against Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Sources revealed that Bhansali feels it always gets difficult whenever he tries to portray a real-life character, hence it's better to stick to the fictional route.

Another filmmaker suggested that a disclaimer should be added that the content in the film bears no resemblance to anyone dead or living.

But now the HC has dismissed the place and it's a green flag for the much-awaited film.
