Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s highly anticipated film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which hit theatres on April 11, failed to meet expectations at the box office, leaving both the cast and creators disappointed. Despite the film’s lackluster performance, it’s back in the spotlight due to rising tensions between the film’s producers, Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani, and director Ali Abbas Zafar.
Reports have revealed that Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani of Pooja Entertainment have lodged a complaint against filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar, accusing him of “misappropriating” subsidy funds obtained from Abu Dhabi authorities during the production of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. It’s reported that the complaint was submitted on September 3, and the Bandra Police in Mumbai is expected to summon the director shortly for questioning.
In their complaint, the Bhagnanis made some shocking accusations against Ali Abbas Zafar accusing him of fraud amounting to Rs 9.50 crore. They claimed he was involved in several illegal actions, including coercion, breach of trust, extortion, blackmail, intimidation, harassment, defamation, and money laundering. They also alleged that he used a shell company in Abu Dhabi to manage these funds.
In addition to Ali Abbas Zafar, Himanshu Mehra, and Aakash Ranadive have also been implicated in this case. According to the FIR, the allegations include fraud, theft, blackmail, extortion, money laundering, and cheating. The producers assert that a total of Rs 9.50 crore has been misappropriated in connection with these activities.
For those unaware, previously, Ali Abbas Zafar accused the producers of failing to pay him Rs 7.35 crore, intensifying the controversy surrounding this case, which has gained attention since Sunday. The producers had already filed a complaint at the Bandra Police Station on September 3, 2024, asserting that Zafar is spreading false rumors to vindicate himself.
