Aseem Merchant to go ahead with biopic

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra had sent a legal notice to alleged ex boyfriend Aseem Merchant. Aseem Merchant is all set to make a biopic on her ex-manager Prakash Jaju. This extreme step was taken by PeeCee, as she does not want many of her personal and professional matters to be revealed. But seems like Merchant is no mood to comply to Priyanka Chopra’s legal pressure. He has decided to go ahead with the project, in spite of getting a legal notice from her.

As per sources, Aseem Merchant says, “We are going ahead with the project and we do not want to succumb to any pressure tactics. We have already replied to her notice. We have bought the rights of Prakash Jaju’s biopic. So no, I am not showing the film’s script to anyone.”

The producer’s lawyer, Alankar Kripkekar, says, “I can only say that we have the rights to Jaju’s biopic, 67 days, and we are going ahead with the project. Withdrawing publicity material of the film is simply not true. The film is in its nascent stage right now, as we have not yet written the script of the film. As for defamation, why would we want to defame anyone? It is Prakash Jaju’s story and we are going to stick to it.”

Priyanka Chopra’s lawyer has also sent a legal notice to Aseem Merchant stating that the publicity material of the film should be withdrawn and no personal or confidential information about PeeCee or her family should be mentioned.
