Speaking to The Indian Express, Neeraj Chaudhary, managing partner of the legal firm, said that the exerpts of the movie which have been leaked on the internet show that the film has a maid named Shiney. “Clearly naming the maid Shiney seems to be a quirky take on the infamous rape case of maid involving Shiney Ahuja. The trial court had convicted Shiney and he has challenged the conviction order before the Bombay High Court. The hearing of appeal is in progress before the Bombay High Court. In such a situation, producing a film using his name in a derogatory manner amounts to creating impediments in the free flow of administration of justice,” he added.

In the legal notice the advocate for Shiney has pointed out that the conduct of the producers of the movie at this juncture constitutes Criminal Contempt as defined under Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Court Act 1971. “The name of the maid “Shiney” and the actors trying to find some masti with her in the movie “Great Grand Masti” will have greater ramification and impact on the mind of the viewer and will tend to curtail or impair the freedom of the limbs of the judicial proceedings,” the notice states.
