New Delhi: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court against the upcoming film ‘The Taj Story’, alleging that the movie distorts historical facts and could potentially disturb communal harmony.

The petition, filed by advocate Shakeel Abbas, seeks directions to the Central government and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to review the certification granted to the film.

In his plea, Abbas contended that the film portrays misleading and manipulated information about the Taj Mahal, one of India’s most iconic monuments, and promotes a partisan political ideology. The petitioner has made the film’s producers, director, writer, and actor, Paresh Rawal, parties to the case, along with the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the CBFC.
