The website claims that,
"Taking offence to the way Abdul Latif would be shown in the film, his son Mustak Ahmed Abdul Latif Shaikh has sent a legal notice to the team. Nine prominent people from the team of Raees including Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, producer Ritesh Sidhwani and director Rahul Dholakia have landed in legal trouble for making a film on Abdul Latif's life. The legal notice advises the team from screening, promoting, releasing, publicizing, advertising, and exploiting the Hindi film titled Raees. The notice further reads that Latif was a famous businessman with deep roots in society.Raees stars Shahrukh Khan, Mahira Khan, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and is in a critical shooting phase these days. Let's wait and see how the team responds to this law suit and what happens next!
