The popular 90s actress, Sangeeta Bijlani has reportedly not been consulted about a character based on her in the upcoming film ‘Azhar’.

On Friday, the song ‘Oye Oye’ was released from ‘Azhar’ inspired by the original song ‘Oye Oye…Gajar Ne Kiya Hai Ishaara’ from ‘Tridev’. However, The Asian Age reports that neither Bijlani or Viju Shah, who composed the song was informed about it.

A source told the publication, ���Forget about the song, the Azhar makers haven�۪t consulted Sangeeta even before using her name and visuals of her movie.�۝

Another source added, “The makers did try to approach her, but she made it very clear she had nothing to do with the project. Does that give them the right to proceed any way?�۝

The biopic makes references to Bijlani’s life and marriage with cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin. Nargis Fakhri plays Bijlani in the film, out on 13th May.
