MUMBAI: When a movie is made the filmmaker puts in a lot of effort, but during the process, there are a lot of hurdles the film needs to cross and one of them are the legal issues. In Bollywood, there have been many movies that have faced legal issues, sometimes before the release, sometimes after the release.
So, today, let’s look at a list of movies that went through legal issues...
