Actress Juhi Chawla is glad that her movie "Gulaab
Gang" has overcome its legal hassles and has at last hit theatres Friday.
The Delhi High Court Thursday cleared the release of the Hindi
movie, seemingly based on the life of activist Sampat Pal, who formed the
Gulabi Gang, a group of pink sari clad women vigilantes in Uttar Pradesh.
"I am happy and excited. There was so much build-up and
we were looking forward to the film. But yesterday (Wednesday) there was a
hiccup and we felt the film would not release," the 46-year-old told here
Thursday at a special screening of the film.
"But I am so glad everything for the moment is settled
and the film is in theatres. Hope you (people) will come and watch the
film," she further added.
Sampat Pal moved court to stop the release of the movie,
alleging that it is based on her life and a portion of the movie shows her in
bad light.
The film's release was suspended by the court but the
filmmakers filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court Thursday and the film was
cleared for commercial release.
Directed by Soumik Sen, "Gulaab Gang" also stars
Madhuri Dixit.
