Rifelman lands in legal trouble
Rifleman producer Abundantia Entertainment has reportedly given a legal notice to team of 72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died, stating they could not release the film as Abundantia Entertainment had the exclusive rights to make a film based on Rawat’s life.
Dhyani, however, said: “We are not going to step back from this issue. I have been working in this industry since last 15 years. If they (Abundantia Entertainment) think that we are going to succumb under their pressure then it’s their biggest misunderstanding.”
