The legal tussles of the production house Pooja Entertainment only seem to grow more warped every passing day. Now, producer Vashu Bhagnani of Pooja Entertainment has come out with a statement indicating his optimism on the positive outcome of his case against the streaming giant Netflix.
“I have always believed in doing what’s right, and have worked hard to keep my commitments. I trust that the truth will come out and hope for a fair resolution. For decades, we have been dedicated to making films with passion, and I stand by that commitment. I am positive the authorities will help clarify, resolve and bring justice in this matter”, said Vashu in controversy around Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, a commercial disaster.
Recently, senior level executives of Netflix were summoned by the EOW relating to the case but did not appear before the authorities, who have now stated that the streaming giant hasn’t been very cooperative during the probe.
Senior Inspector Ravindra Avhad, who is also handling the case, had earlier said, “This Rs. 47.37 crores is what Netflix owes Vashu Bhagnani. But Netflix is not cooperating. We sent them two summons, but they didn’t appear. The Bhagnanis came to us in April, gave their statements, and handed over documents. Netflix asked for time but never showed up. They keep sending lower-level staff, but it’s Monica Shergill (Content Head, Netflix India) who should be appearing.”
