PVR Inox Rejects Claims Of Lawsuit Against Puja Films

The clarification comes after a report by Bollywood Hungama alleged that PVR Inox was considering legal action over outstanding payments connected to a reported Rs 100 crore three-film agreement between the two parties.

The report surfaced at a time when Vashu Bhagnani is already involved in a separate legal battle. The producer recently filed a Rs 400 crore suit before the Bombay High Court against Tips Industries' Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani, along with director David Dhawan, over matters linked to the film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

The statement read, "We have noted a recent media report concerning PVRINOX Pictures and Mr Vashu Bhagnani.

While addressing the matter, the multiplex giant also made it clear that it would not publicly comment on any business-related agreements.

The statement further said, "We do not believe it is appropriate to discuss the details of any commercial arrangements in the public domain."

In a part of its statement, PVR Inox also acknowledged Jackky Bhagnani’s role in managing interactions between the two organisations.

According to the company, "We would also like to place on record our appreciation for Jackky Bhagnani's handling of all matters between the two companies.
