Actor Paresh Rawal has responded to the controversy surrounding his upcoming film The Taj Story, which is facing legal challenges just days before its release.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a BJP leader from Ayodhya has sought a ban on the film, alleging that it is based on the subject of a petition he had filed in the High Court in 2022. Another PIL, submitted by Shakeel Abbas, called for a review of the movie’s certification and demanded a disclaimer stating that the film “deals with a contested narrative and does not claim to be a definitive historical account.”
However, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing on the plea.

Speaking exclusively to NDTV, Paresh Rawal, along with co-star Zakir Hussain, addressed the controversy and the claims that the film could provoke communal tension. “Every problem cannot be solved,” Rawal said, suggesting that art should be viewed separately from political or religious interpretations.
The film is set to release this week despite the ongoing debates around its theme and portrayal of historical events.
