Advocate Poonam Chand Solanki from Jodhpur, who is said to be the ‘inspiration’ for Manoj Bajpayee’s latest courtroom drama ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’, is reportedly unhappy over alleged claims that the story of the Apoorv Singh Karki-directorial is based on him.
In the courtroom drama that dropped on Zee5 on Tuesday, Manoj plays a lawyer, who fights an infamous rape case against a self-proclaimed godman in a Jodhpur court and gets the latter convicted.
Incidentally, Solanki was the advocate who fought the 2013 Asaram Bapu rape case, and got the self-styled godman convicted.
“I have taken the legal recourse in this matter. How can it be claimed that the movie is inspired by real-life events involving me when no Noc was collected from me, nor the script was approved by me? Those who signed an agreement with me sold the rights without informing me,” Solanki revealed.

Acclaimed poet, lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar, who is here to attend the 16th Jaipur Literature Festival (Jlf), said on Friday that Indian cinema is one of the strongest goodwill ambassadors in the world and hence Indian films should be respected.
Answering a query at a presser on the sidelines of Jlf on the current ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend, Akhtar said, “This ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend will not help. People in India love movies, be it in north, south, west or eastern part of the country. We are a nation of ‘Movie Bhakts’… It is in our DNA to listen to stories, to tell stories, and this has been the trend for ages. Our stories always come along with songs… Hindi films did not invent it. One should respect Hindi cinema.”
“Our films are released in 35-36 countries worldwide. Indian cinema is one of the strongest goodwill ambassadors in the world. If we start doing a headcount,...

Jaipur, May 23 (Ians) Covid-19 has widened the digital divide in the desert state as gadgets and social media-friendly sections of society are finding easier access to education, vaccination and medication compared to those in rural Rajasthan.
The vaccination drive is slow in the villages as villagers find it tough to access the CoWin app.
Leader of Opposition Gulabchand Kataria, an Mla from Udaipur, said, "Around 90 to 95 per cent of people from the cities of Gujarat are coming to villages in Udaipur, Banswara and Dungarpur for their vaccination as rural Rajasthan is yet to learn how to register for vaccination on CoWin app."
In his letter to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Kataria said that 70 per cent of his constituency comprises tribals who are unable to get vaccination slots on the app.
"Youth in Udaipur villages residing in Gongunda and Khairwada do not know how to book a vaccination slot online.

Jaipur, Sep 29 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals' latest hero Rahul Tewatia on Tuesday revealed that when he was promoted and sent to bat at No.4 against Kings XI Punjab he followed a specific plan: 'Go and take on the bowlers'.
The result was that Tewatia, a leg-spinner, smashed a 31-ball 53 and played a key role as his team won the game by four wickets at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. But the man from Sihi village in Haryana said that he had miles to go and needed to learn a lot.
Talking to the media in a Zoom session on Tuesday, Tewatia, 27, said that he played with a focussed mind to prove himself. "I simply adopted the 'go and take on the bowlers' mindset with a focussed approach and it worked," he said.

ControversyThe Rajput leader said there has been a "duplicacy" in matters pertaining to Karni Sena's functioning and there are many fake Karni Senas emerging in India. IANSArchana Sharma Shree Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi on Saturday dismissed reports that his outfit has withdrawn protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat and said it must be some "fake news" circulated by a "fake Karni Sena". He also said that his group has made the Bjp pay - via its loss in the Rajasthan bypolls - for not respecting the sentiments of the protesting Rajputs. "There are many fake Karni Senas emerging in India. At present there are eight such entities operating in the country with vested interests," Kalvi told Ians. The Rajput leader, whose group has been at the forefront of massive protests against Padmaavat, said there has been a "duplicacy" in matters pertaining to Karni Sena's functioning. He stressed that there was "only one Rajput Karni Sena operating in India and I proudly say that I am the founder of that organisation". He also asked people to "beware of such similarly named organisations functioning and operating in the market". The Shree Rajput Karni Sena has been protesting the Deepika Padukone starrer since its inception, claiming the film distorts history. "We started the initial protests against the release of the film, which we still continue to do," he said. "However, the other duplicate Karni Senas are creating a dubious situation by releasing contradictory and fake news," Kalvi added. Speaking on the Bharatiya Janata Party's loss in the Rajasthan bypolls, the Rajput leader said: "Around 17 organisations have joined hands and declared that they will make sure that Bjp loses elections on each and every seat." "And we proved what we said. Congress won with a big margin while Bjp was a loser on its home turf." "Jauhar ki jwala mein bahut kuchh jalega. Aur bhi bahut ghatnayen hongi (The fire of Jauhar will burn down many things, there is more to come). 'Padmaavat' will decide many things in future." Kalvi said: "We want the government to understand via political loss how it has hurt the sentiments of people here." "We have hit hard on notes as well as votes. Bhansali was expected to get Rs 500 crore return, however, we scuttled his dreams and cut the profit margin to Rs 150 crore. "Similarly, the vote share of the Bjp was reduced," he added. "I have met 21 Chief Ministers and am looking forward to meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon. I have got the call from Pmo asking about my schedule and have given them my schedule. "Will see when can I meet him and apprise him on the present situation," Kalvi added. The Rajput leader strongly denied having any political aspirations. "None of us have any dream of floating a political party," he said. The Rajput Karni Sena on Friday had announced that it had decided to end the protests against Bhansali's Padmaavat stating that the film "glorifies the valour of the Rajputs". Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena's Mumbai leader, Yogendra Singh Kartar said that a few members of the outfit watched the film on the directions of the organisation's national President Sukhdev Singh Gogamadi and found that the "film glorifies" the valour and sacrifice of Rajputs, and "every Rajput would feel proud" after watching it.
