Percept, T-Series resolve issue over 8X10 Tasveer
MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as the producers Percept Picture Company and Super Cassettes Industries Ltd (T-Series) have amicably settled their differences.
T-Series will withdraw from being a co-producer after receiving the entire payment from Percept.
Yesterday, T-Series had threatened to take legal action against PPC if it released Nagesh Kukunoor’s upcoming flick 8X10 Tasveer. T-Series expressed its ire after a cheque of Rs 66.7 million (cheque No. 897813) issued by PPC was dishonoured by the bank. Subsequently, PPC gave a fresh DD of the same amount (DD No. 194786) in lieu of the cheque.
T-Series president – Marketing, Media, and Publishing (TV) Vinod Bhanushali confirmed to Indiantelevision.com, “We have received the DD and it has been credited to our account. We have also written to the lab to release the prints. The producers (PPC) are free to release the film on 3 April and we are having the music rights.”
8X10 Tasveer is a thriller which revolves around Jai (Akshay Kumar), who has a supernatural gift to see into the past by touching the 8X10 sized photographs of the dead people.
