'Sultan': complaint filed against Salman Khan, Ali Abbas Zafar

Superstar Salman Khan recently shot for his upcoming movie ‘Sultan’ in Morna village in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar. He also thanked the administration and people of the district and tweeted, “Filmed sultaan in muzaffarnagar,cld not hv happened vit out the support of the C M, people,film development Corp,police n admin. 2 much fun.”

However, it appears that not all people are happy with the shooting schedule in UP, as a complaint has been filed against Salman and the film’s director Ali Abbbaas Zafar in a local court.

The complaint filed by one Ehtesham Siddiq, alleged that the movie was shot in Morna area of the district but the location was shown as Rewari in Haryana. The plaintiff also claimed the people of Muzaffarnagar are annoyed.

The court has fixed May 3 for hearing the case, according to the prosecution.

The ‘Sultan’ team arrived at the location for the UP schedule on April 19 and began shooting the following day. Some scenes for the movie were shot in the local block office which was recreating as in Haryana but putting up a board with the state’s name. Certain people have apparently taken offence to those scenes.

Salman plays the role of Haryanvi wrestler Sultan Ali Khan Cheema in the film being produced by Yash Raj Films. It also stars Anushka Sharma and Randeep Hooda and is slated to hit theatres on the occasion of Eid this year.
