But, he has gone forward and made the announcement. He even made the conclusion that it was a rip-off, which even the Supreme Courtroom has not concluded to this point. I don’t know who gave him the correct to try this. It’s a money-making racket which he falls for and I believe he undoubtedly needed to try this by way of the Rip-off sequence. God bless him for that. However neither I nor Sahara India Parivar will take it mendacity down. We’re going to the court docket. We’ll go towards the director, the manufacturing home and the channel.

But, they made this announcement as they needed to have publicity and earn money. That is the place Bollywood fails as a result of we cheat our associates and we inform the unsuitable story with out figuring out the info,” he mentioned.
He signed off by saying, “We have now roped in an actor. When the correct time comes, we’ll make the announcement. In the meantime, this low cost publicity must be fought with. It’s a tricky battle really. Right here was a person who by no means ran out of India, like different businessmen. Everybody else flew out however he didn’t. He went to the Supreme Courtroom when he was caught. He acquired jailed and he got here out. Everybody is aware of that he has supplied the utmost employment after the Railways in India.”
