Sister of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Meetu Singh, took to her social media account to express that she is ‘extremely disheartened’ after the judgement by the court on Thursday. The court dismissed a plea seeking a bar on any film or other venture that may use the late actor’s name or likeness to create a biopic or story. The plea was filed by Sushant’s father Krishna Kishore Singh.
Meetu took to her Twitter account and wrote, “Extremely disheartened by the judgement. JusticeForSushantSinghRajput #SSRians #SushanthSinghRajput(sic)” Meetu posted her tweet shortly after the Delhi High Court declined to stay the release of the film Nyay: The Justice which is said to be based on the life of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Meanwhile, makers of Nyay: The Justice were quite relieved that the plea was dismissed, film’s producer Rahul Sharma said in a statement, “We believed justice would be served through the system and we are very happy with the verdict. We have always mentioned that this film is not being made to ride on the events and make money, but we wanted the truth to come out and justice be served.”
Their lawyer Ashok Sarogi further said, “The court has also given justice to the producers of the film. The case against the film has been dismissed. There is a rumour being spread that the film is trying to defame the late actor and show their family in bad light. But I want to assure all of you that it is false and the producers have not used his name or photograph in the film. The film is made on true events that have unfolded and with the information which is available in the public domain. We are very happy with the court’s ruling.”
Nyay: The Justice stars Zuber Khan and Shreya Shukla in pivotal roles and apart from them seen in the movie will be Aman Verma, Asrani, Shakti Kapoor, Kiran Kumar, Anant Jog, Somi Khan and Sudha Chandran.
