Corporate
lobbyist
Niira
Radia,
who
was
linked
to
the
2G
spectrum
scam,
on
Thursday
appealed
the
Delhi
High
Court
to
put
a
stay
on
the
release
of
the
film,
Monica
—
The
Politics
of
Murder.
Reportedly,
film
Monica
depicts
her
life
in
a
scandalous
manner.
Accepting
her,
the
court
has
issued
a
notice
to
the
producer
of
the
film
Kush
Bhargava
asking
his
response
to
the
issue
by
March
30.
Reportedly,
the
film
Monica
portrays
the
scandalous
life
of
Niira
Radia.
Actress
Divya
Dutta
is
playing
Niira
Radia
in
the
film.
Anip
Sachthey,
Radia's
lawyer
argued
in
the
court
saying,
“The
plaintiff
(Radia)
has
not
assigned
anyone
the
right
to
make
a
film
based
on
her
life
or
any
film
showing
the
life
of
the
petitioner,
however
minuscule,
and
the
production
of
the
film
in
such
a
brazen
manner
and
public
viewing
of
such
film
will
tarnish
or
damage
her
image
and
reputation
beyond
repair
which
cannot
be
compensated."
Justice
V
K
Jain,
however
informed
that
no
opinion
could
be
formed
and
no
order
can
be
passed
until
the
script
of
the
film
or
the
VCD
of
the
film
is
presented
before
the
court.
A
few
days
ago
in
an
exclusive
interview
with
IANS,
the
producer
of
Monica,
Kush
Bhargava
had
explained
his
stand
saying,
“This
movie
was
made
more
than
a
year
ago
when
her
(Niira
Radia)
name
was
known
to
very
few
people
and
she
was
not
a
public
figure.
So
from
my
side
it
is
a
categorical
denial
that
'Monica'
has
anything
to
do
with
Niira
Radia."
He
continued,
“In
fact,
it
is
not
the
story
of
anyone
dead
or
alive.
It
is
inspired
by
many
stories
like
Shivani
(Shivani
Bhatnagar
was
an
Indian
Express
journalist
killed
in
1999)
and
Madhumita
Shukla
(Lucknow
based
poetess
who
was
also
killed)."
He
also
cleared
that
the
film
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
2G
scam
as
the
protagonist
in
the
film,
Monica
dies
in
the
film.
However,
his
response
to
the
court
is
still
awaited.
