Director Omung Kumar had earlier announced that he has signed Sanjay Dutt to play Jam Sahib Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji in a biopic on Nawanagar’s royalty, titled The Good Maharaja. But the film hit a roadblock even before the first shot was taken with the daughters and legal heirs of the Maharaja, Hershad Kumari and Himanshu Kumari, sending a cease and desist notice to Omung Kumar, co-producer Sandeep Singh and their joint venture, Legend Studios.
The latest on the film is that Sanjay is no longer a part of the film. The actor’s spokesperson confirmed the news, saying, “Sanjay Dutt is not doing The Good Maharaja with Omung Kumar.”
Omung and Sandeep were reportedly set to begin work on the film next month. Looks like the fate of the film is in dire straits indeed!
