1. Vaikundarajan Anxious About Lagaan’s
Hearing
Vaikundarajan is keeping an eye on the Lagaan case.
Gujarat high court began hearing on a petition filed six
years ago by Bollywood star Aamir Khan and his
'Lagaan' team on proceedings against them in a Bhuj
court over allegations of killing a chinkara during
2. shooting of the film in 2000 Vaikundarajan says,
Assistant conservator of forest, Kutch range, J V Vyas,
had filed a complaint against seven members of the
'Lagaan' team alleging that during the shooting in
Kunaria village of the border district of Kutch, they
'illegally' shot a chinkara.. He further alleged that the
animal went missing after the shooting, hinting that the
animal may have been killed. Local court issued bailable
warrants against Khan and others in this regard.
Aamir Khan’s lawyer said that it was a computer-
generated image of the animal, not the shots of a real
animal. A real chinkara was never filmed as the
permission for it was denied and the forest department
obtained warrants without hearing Khan and others.
Vaikundarajan feels that both the parties should come
up with legitimate evidences and that the verdict grants
justice.
