Advocate Krishna Kumar Bhagawati has issued the notice to Madana Mallu not to make 'Satyananda' as it "depicts only the police version of Nithyananda (depicting the alleged sleaze scandal involving a regional actress), which is false and baseless", senior counsel for Nithyananda, KV Dhananjay said.
Bhagawati had earlier got a stay order from Hyderabad High Court on a Telugu film 'Ayyaru' made on the life of Nithyananda, according to Dhananjay. Nithyananda landed in controversy in March last year after a local television channel aired a purported video footage showing him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress. He was subsequently arrested in Solan district in Himachal Pradesh on April 21.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has filed a chargesheet against Nithyananda and four of his associates under various sections of IPC, including rape and unnatural sex.
