Controversies and Madhur Bhandarkar go hand in hand.

'Now someone has gone to court for the copyright infringement of my film FASHION after 4 years and demanding 2.5 crores... In the past my films PAGE 3,TRAFFIC SIGNAL and JAIL claiming to be their concepts were dismissed by legal courts and writers association,' Bhandarkar tweeted.
