Actor
Imran
Khan
has
now
reassured
that
he
will
file
a
Public
Interest
Litigation
(PIL)
against
the
the
legal
drinking
age
limit
very
soon
but
through
proxy.
In
fact,
the
Bollywood
actor
had
made
this
announcement
after
the
Maharashtra
state
government
increased
the
legal
age
for
alcohol
consumption
from
21
to
25
years.
But
it
was
more
than
a
month
and
there
was
no
news
about
the
PIL
from
the
B-town
star.
His
silence
over
the
issue
had
raised
the
speculations
that
it
was
his
publicity
stunt
for
his
recently
released
movie
Delhi
Belly.
But
Imran
Khan
has
denied
the
reports
about
publicity
gimmick
stating
that
he
would
indeed
file
it
soon.
Talking
to
the
Mid-Day,
Imran
Khan
says,
"The
PIL
will
be
filed
within
a
week.
Since
I'm
a
US
citizen,
I
personally
can't
file
it.
Hence,
I've
reworked
it
with
the
help
of
my
lawyers
to
file
it
in
someone
else's
name.
So
while
the
PIL
will
be
filed
by
someone
else
on
my
behalf,
I'll
be
bearing
the
complete
cost
for
the
same."
However,
the
Bollywood
actor
declines
to
reveal
the
identity
of
the
person
in
whose
name
he
will
file
the
litigation.
Talking
about
speculations
about
the
publicity
gimmick,
Imran
says,
"It
took
time
to
rework
the
PIL
paperwork
keeping
the
legalities
and
technicalities
in
mind.
We
wanted
to
keep
it
separate
from
the
film,
so
we
eventually
decided
to
file
it
some
time
after
the
release."
