BJP MLA from Bankipore in Patna, Nitin Navin wrote a letter to the filmmaker Prakash Jha, Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry and also Censor Board to remove the name of his constituency and a reference of the villain as fourth term MLA from that seat.
While Nitin Navin was recently elected as MLA from the seat for the third time, his deceased father Navin Sinha had represented the seat before that.
The BJP legislator told PTI that the promos of the film starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead, which would be released in the first week of March, shows the villain as a fourth term MLA from Bankipore.
He said "if his request to remove the name of his constituency and reference of the villain as fourth term MLA from that seat is not accepted, I'll approach court for justice."
The MLA said that he had been receiving a number of telephone calls from his supporters and well wishers on an apparent negative portrayal of him.
Prakash Jha had contested Lok Sabha election from Bettiah in Bihar's West Champaran district in 2014 as a JD(U) candidate. He had lost to BJP's Sanjay Jaiswal.
