Sanjay Gandhi’s ‘daughter’ moves HC for stay on film

A woman claiming to be the biological daughter of Sanjay Gandhi, son of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has approached the Bombay high court seeking a stay on filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar’s upcoming film Indu Sarkar. Priya Paul filed a petition in the high court on Friday seeking a direction to Bhandarkar to explain what was fiction and what was fact. Bhandarkar had recently said only 30% of the film, set against the backdrop of the Emergency, was factual and the remaining was fictional. The film is slated to release on July 28.
