Shiney Ahuja sends legal notice to Great Grand Masti makers for using name “Shiney” for maid in the film. The domestic help character in Great Grand Masti, a female, played by Sonali Raut has been named after him and that has a direct reference to his 2009 rape case.

He has asked for removal of all the scenes of “Shiney the maid” and a written apology from the makers just before the day of release of the film Great Grand Masti. The actor has served the notice to Balaji Motion Pictures, Ekta Kapoor, Jeetendra, Maruti International and director Inder Kumar.

The three characters of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani are apparently seen trying to have some “fun” with the maid named “Shiney” in the movie.

“Cleary naming the maid Shiney seems to be a quirky take on the infamous rape case of maid involving Shiney Ahuja. The trial court had convicted Shiney Ahuja and he has challenged the conviction order before the Bombay High Court. The hearing of appeal is in progress before the Bombay high Court. In such a situation, producing a film using his name in a derogatory manner amounts to creating impediments in the free flow of administration of justice,” Neeraj Chaudhary, managing partner of a Chandigarh based legal firm that has served the notice, told the daily.
