Bangladeshi auto driver sues over movie mobile mix-up

DHAKA - A Bangladeshi auto-rickshaw driver is suing for damages after his phone number was used in a movie, leading to a barrage of calls from female fans of the film's star that he says nearly destroyed his marriage.

Ijajul Mia said on Wednesday he had received hundreds of calls every day since the release in June of Rajniti, in which the country's top movie star Shakib Khan is seen giving the number to his girlfriend.

"The use of my number in the movie made my life completely miserable," he said.
