Meanwhile, Norwegian Ambassador to India, Hans Jacob Frydenlund last Friday said that the film 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway' starring Rani Mukerji in lead incorrectly depicts the country's belief in family life. The Norwegian envoy said that the film has "factual inaccuracies" and the story is a "fictional representation of the case."
Producer Nikkhil Advani issued a statement which read, "Last evening we hosted the Norwegian Ambassador and volunteered to show him our film 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway'. Post the screening I sat quietly watching him admonish two strong women who have chosen to tell this very important story. I was quiet because just like Sagarika Chakraborty, they don't need me to fight for them and "culturally" we do not insult our guests".
