Vasu withheld Ali's payment of Rs 7.3 crore Earlier, Dainik Global News Daily had found in its investigation that Vasu Bhagnani has withheld Rs 7.3 crore of director Ali Abbas Zafar. Ali had directed the film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' under Vasu's banner Pooja Entertainments, for which he has not received the payment till now. Ali Abbas has also filed a complaint with the Directors Association regarding this.
Director Ali Abbas Zafar is known for directing films like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
Ali said- the matter is with the association When we contacted Ali Abbas Zafar in this matter, he said- Look, this matter is with the Director Association. I cannot say anything about it right now. Saying this, he hung up the phone.
At the same time, a source close to Ali said- Ali does not want this matter to come out now. He is afraid that if this matter comes out, his payment may get stuck.
Vasu said- all these are baseless allegations Global News Daily had also tried to know Vasu Bhagnani's side on this matter. Vasu had said- If you get any proof, then move ahead. Otherwise publish news against those who are making such baseless allegations.
Vasu started a production company named Pooja Entertainment in the name of his wife Pooja Bhagnani in 1995. His first film as a producer was 'Coolie No. 1'.
Let us tell you that this is not the first time that a complaint has been made against Vasu for not making payment. This has happened many times before as well. Here are some cases…
