High Court tells makers to settle remaining dues before Zanjeer's release

Zanjeer

MUMBAI: Finally after the interference of the Mumbai High Court, the making of Zanjeer has got a green signal but this comes not without a rider: the makers have to pay the remaining dues within eight weeks.

Since its inception, the remake has been embroiled in a host of controversies. It has been the bone of contention between the Mehra brothers - Amit Mehra, Puneet Mehra and Sumeet Mehra.

Adai Mehra Productions Pvt Ltd (AMPL) owned by Amit Mehra, and Prakash Mehra Productions (PMP) which is a property of all the three brothers, have been stuck in a legal tussle for quite some time now.
 
It is said that AMPL acquired the rights of Zanjeer from PMP, but the latter claimed that the dues weren‘t settled. The total amount that was to be paid was Rs 4.10 crores. As per the Bombay High Court order, AMPL now needs to clear the remaining dues of Rs 1.18 crores within eight weeks for the film to be released.

The remake stars Ram Charan Teja and Priyanka Chopra in stellar roles.
