He argues this is unfair because related court cases are still being considered.

Khan says he was acquitted in three of the four cases connected to the incident.

He also says some appeals are still pending.

His lawyers describe the film as creating a “trial by media.”

They object to fictional testimony and forensic conclusions being shown to a large audience.
