Following the assurance, the court disposed off the application filed by Haji Mastan's adopted son Sundar Shekhar alias Suleiman Mirza, who had sought a stay on the film's release.

He had contended that he needed to see the film prior to the release to check if there was anything defamatory in it.

But Justice R C Chavan did not grant such a relief.

The media statement, to be issued today itself, would mention that the producers have "never represented to anyone that the film is based on Haji Mastan Mirza."

"The films is purely a work of fiction and characters in the films are fictional and do not represent any indiviual, whether living or dead", the producers said.

The statement will be in addition to the disclaimer to the same effect in the beginning of the film.

The sessions court had earlier directed that a disclaimer be inserted in the film, stating that it was not based on Mastan's life.
