Haider: Bollywood gives a thumbs up to Shahid and Shraddha's film

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, an Imam from Srinagar has threatened to take Vishal Bharadwaj to court over the use of footage featuring him in Haider. The film, which was shot in Kashmir, has a scene which depicts the nikah ceremony of Tabu and Kay Kay Menon and according to the report, Ghulam Hassan Shah of Kund has claimed that he has been featured in it. The report further states that four months after the film's release, Shah has sent a legal notice to the director claiming that he was tricked into becoming a part of the film. He was quoted saying that he was told the footage featuring him will be used for educational purposes, but it was used in the film instead. Shah claimed that he has lost his job for solemnising the marriage of Tabu and Kay Kay in the film, and he is now demanding 50 lakh rupees in compensation or an apology in national press for "defaming" him in the movie, the report mentioned.
