The Salman Khan starrer ‘Wanted’, directed by Prabhu Deva, is facing a legal hurdle, as the Madras High Court on Thursday directed the producers of the movie, including actress Sridevi, to deposite Rs nine crore within a week failing which orders prohibiting them from screening the film will be in force.
A remake of Vijay starrer ‘Pokkiri’, the movie is produced by Sridevi Kapoor, her husband Boney Kapoor and Surendra Kapoor.
Justice G Rajasuria passed the orders on an affidavit filed by G G Photo Limited represented by its director Sushil Gupta, who has filed a civil suit for recovery of Rs.6.74 crore.
According to Sushil Gupta, the claims arouse out of assistance rendered and raw film stock supplied during the production of the film. Stating that he had letters, agreements and cheques to prove the claim, Gupta said in his petition that “all cheques, agreements and letters were duly signed and given voluntarily by the defendants.”
