Maharashtra MLA Amin Patel and a resident of the Kamathipura area in south Mumbai have approached the Bombay High Court against the use of the area's name in the Bollywood film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', and sought it to be censored or deleted. The petition filed by Shraddha Surve, a resident of Kamathipura where a number of brothels operated in the past, was mentioned before a division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Madhav Jamdar on Tuesday, seeking urgent hearing as the movie is slated for release on Friday.
The bench said it would hear the petition on Wednesday.
