Now, Anil Kapoor's 'Fanney Khan' release hits roadblock
31 Jul 2018 |
- 'Fanney Khan' is the latest in the line of movies to be stalled over legal disputes.
- The Anil Kapoor starrer has been stalled by producer Vashu Bhagnani who moved the Supreme Court, seeking the legal dispute to be settled before the film's release.
- Owing to the complexity of the legal suit against co-producers KriArj Entertainment, the film's release date seems to be jeopardized.

What's happening: The complex legal issue simplified for you
Legal Case |
- Now you must be wondering- what is the dispute exactly? Let us explain.
- The battle involves 3 parties - the petitioner Pooja Entertainment and Films Limited, the accused who worked in collusion with KriArj Entertainment Private Limited and Super Cassettes Industries Private Limited.
- The dispute concerns the co-production and distribution rights of the film, and Bhagnani alleges he got a raw deal.

Bhagnani alleges KriArj cheated them after making a deal
Allegations |
- Bhagnani was allegedly approached by KriArj in November 2017 to discuss the sale of the distribution rights.
- The deal was struck for Rs. 10 crore of which Rs. 8.5 crore was paid to KriArj for the rights. This guaranteed that Bhagnani had sole distribution rights.
- But later, KriArj apparently colluded with Super Cassettes to sell the entire co-production and distribution rights to the latter.

Legal battles delaying films is normal in Bollywood, don't worry
Looking back |
- Lately, many Bollywood movies have been dragged to court before hitting screens.
- Earlier this year, John Abraham was caught in a long legal battle with Prernaa Arora of KriArj in relation to 'Parmanu' release. The movie was delayed and finally released with Abraham as a co-producer.
- 'Mulk', too, is in the middle of a fight and its release on August 3, is shrouded in uncertainty.

What does all this mean for 'Fanney Khan'?
Consequences |
- The important question now is- When will 'Fanney Khan' release?
- One plausible scenario is that the warring parties may reach a mutual understanding over the dispute, making way for the film's release.
- Apart from Anil Kapoor, the movie also stars Rajkummar Rao and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The story revolves around a father who puts everything at stake to fulfil his daughter's musical dream.
