Man besieged by calls after Bollywood film mistakenly publicised his phone number

A man who has been besieged by calls after a Bollywood film mistakenly publicised his phone number says he is exhausted and frustrated by the constant attention.

In the film, Arjun Patiala, actress Sunny Leone reads out the phone number of the character she plays ‑ which happens to belong to 26‑year‑old Puneet Agarwal.

Agarwal told the BBC he had been receiving more than 100 calls a day since the movie was released on 26 July.

The calls are disrupting his life to such an extent that he is taking legal action to try to get the film edited so his phone number is bleeped out.

Leone is a former American porn star who has since broken into Bollywood. She has acted in erotic thrillers and adult comedies, and is often portrayed as a sex symbol.
