The ongoing battle between producer Vashu Bhagnani and filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar has taken a new turn, with the producer filing a police complaint against the director. The complaint accuses the director of breach of trust, intimidation, cheating, and non-disclosure of accounts related to their film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan'.
In response, Zafar has lodged a complaint with the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA) alleging non-payment of fees. The director claims he has not received his fees of Rs 7 crore, which Bhagnani’s Pooja Films allegedly owes him. The dispute has also escalated to involve the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), which is advocating for technicians, film crew, and actors who have not been paid by Pooja Films.
