He had said in his plea that the chapters on Gangubai in the novel ‘The Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ — on which the film is based — were defamatory and tarnished her reputation besides infringing on her right to privacy.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s company, along with Alia and the authors then moved the Bombay HC challenging the issue of summons.
