Sushant Singh Rajput starrer ‘Rifleman’ lands in legal tussle, deets inside

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s upcoming film ‘Rifleman’ has landed in a legal tussle as the makers of ‘72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died’ claimed to have attained original rights to make the film based on rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat’s life.

In a statement on Saturday, the director of ‘72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died’ Avinash Dhyani said that he has the original rights to make the film. The film’s producer Prashil Rawat and lawyer Nagesh Mishra were also present in the press briefing.

Dhyani further said, “We are not going to step back from this issue. I have been working in this industry since last 15 years. If Abundantia Entertainment thinks that we are going to succumb under their pressure then it’s their biggest misunderstanding.”

Dhyani also slammed Sushant Singh Rajput for not verifying the legal aspect before coming on-board for the film. Dhyani, who is the director and lead actor of ‘72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died’, said his film highlights the life of rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat. The film was released on January 18.

However, days before the release of ‘72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died’, i.e on January 15, Sushant made an announcement through his social media account that he is going to be a part of ‘Rifleman’.
