Salman Shah’s family takes legal course against ‘Buker Moddhe Agun’

The family of late superstar Salman Shah is taking the legal course to stop the airing of a web series titled ‘Buker Moddhe Agun’ which is reportedly based on the events of the last moments of the superstar.

Salman’s mother Nilufar Chowdhury is moving to the High Court seeking a stay on the airing of the web series starred by Ziaul Faruq Faruq Apurba and a complete ban on the production of songs, dramas, movies, and web series related to Salman Shah.

Besides, his uncle and former actor Alamgir Kumkum also served a legal notice on the makers of the web series including the director, producer and OTT platform Hoichoi, which is scheduled to air the series from February 17. The series is directed by Taneem Rahman Angshu and produced by Alpha-Eye.

Sylhet Judge’s Court lawyer Mohammad Moinul Islam served the notice on Kumkum’s behalf. The notice read, “Salman Shah, the nephew of my client, was found dead in his home. My client’s nephew’s unexplained death was presented as a suicide to put things in a different light. The lawsuit is still pending in court. My client has expressed concern over the recent attempt to create a web series based on the mysterious passing of his nephew. Given the circumstances that Salman Shah’s death is still an active legal issue at court, it is illegal to produce a television series about the case.”

The notice also stated that Alamgir Kumkum would move the court if the makers of the series do not stop production.

Although there was no mention of Salman Shah, the story line indicates that it is based on him and the web series is also named after Salman Shah’s last movie.

Debuting in 1993 with the film ‘Keyamat Theke Keyamat’ Salman Shah worked on a total of 27 films in only four years. On September 6, 1996, Salman Shah passed away, leaving many adoring fans in tears.
