His upcoming Rahul Dholakia film, ‘Raees‘, has already gotten involved in a series of serious legal issues with social activists protesting outside the film’s sets to him not getting permissions for locations to shoot. And now, a new legal suit has been filed against the film and the prominent names associated with the film. In Rahul Dhalokia’s Raees, Shah Rukh Khan plays a character loosely based on Abdul Latif, an alleged gangster who ran the illicit liquor business in Gujarat during the peak of Prohibition in the 1990’s. The film is now in legal trouble. Latif had over 40 murder cases filed against him. However, now, Latif’s son Mustak Ahmed Abdul Latif Shaikh has sent legal notices to nine prominent people involved with the making of the film Raees, including SRK, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, producer Ritesh Sidhwani and director Rahul Dholakia, asking how or why a film on his father’s life is being made.
