  • "It was stuck for three years in some kind of a dispute...but now it will come out by the end of the year," said Mehta, who has just completed Majhi - The Mountain Man.
  • He denied reports that the film, a tribute to 19th century painter Raja Ravi Varma, was delayed due to the bold scenes picturised on the lead pair - Randeep Hooda and Nandana Sen.
