Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is planning legal action against the writer and
publisher of "The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood's Bad Boy" as he had not
authorised anyone for his biography. He says his "authentic" autobiography will
be out soon.
Sanjay issued a statement via social media about the book
penned by Yasser Usman and published by Juggernaut.
"I have not
authorised either Juggernaut Publications or Yasser Usman to write/publish my
biography. Our lawyers had sent them a legal notice, in response to which
Juggernaut Publications said that contents of the proposed book are based on
information available in public domain from authentic sources.
"However,
from the excerpts that are appearing in the newspaper are partly based on my old
interviews, but rest all seemed to be based on hearsay, 1990s' tabloids and
gossip magazines, most of which are figments of imagination and not true. I have
consulted with my legal team on the next course of action," the actor wrote.
In an accompanying post, he also gave fans something to eagerly look forward
to.
"I hope better sense will prevail and there will be no further
excerpts that will hurt me or my family. My official autobiography will be out
soon which will be authentic and based on facts," Sanjay added.
"The
Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood's Bad Boy" traces Sanjay's life starting from
how his parents -- Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt met and got married, his birth,
how he coped with life in boarding school, the tragedy of his mother's death,
his relationship with his father and sisters, his drug addiction and
de-addiction.
Several parts of the book shed light on his very public
love life and breakups, his interactions with the underworld, the tryst with the
1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and his present image as the 'reformed goon' much
like his role in his beloved role as "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.".
