The court, however, ruled against granting an injunction, allowing the film to proceed. Furthermore, the producers have complied with all legal obligations, including settling with the heirs in January 2020. Bayview Projects LLP has obtained the necessary rights and has reportedly adhered to all agreed terms.
Ameet Naik, advocate for Bayview Projects LLP, stated, “Bayview is in compliance with the consent terms dated January 29, 2020, and there are no outstanding dues to any of the legal heirs.” He emphasised that no official notice from authorities has been received.
In support of the film, Dr Faisal Zardi, grandson of Syed Abdul Rahim, and Sadia Hakim, wife of Rahim’s son, have both praised the film and the producers. They have condemned the misleading reports and expressed their appreciation for how Rahim’s story has been portrayed.
