Sampat Pal, the leader of Gulabi Gang a group that fights for the rights of women in UP’s Banda district, had appealed to the high court  saying the filmmakers did not ask her permission before making the movie. She also sought financial compensation, saying there are certain scenes in movie which would affect her reputation.

The film’s associate producer Mushtaq Sheikh has just tweeted that the court has lifted the stay order and is all set to release tomorrow.

So its now time for Madhuri Dixit fans as the movie will be releasing as scheduled tomorrow itself.
