Producers Jackky Bhagnani and Vashu Bhagnani file a complaint against Bade Miyan Chote Miyan director Abbas Ali Zafar on grounds of misappropriation of funds.

Producers Jackky Bhagnani and Vashu Bhagnani have filed a complaint against filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar for allegedly siphoning the subsidy funds he took from Abu Dhabi authorities during the shoot of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

It has come to light that the complaint was filed on 3rd September 2024 and Zafar is expected to be summoned at the Bandra police station soon.

In their complaint, Bhagnanis alleged fraud of Rs 9.50 crore by Ali Abbas Zafar and accused him of “coercion, criminal breach of trust, extortion, blackmailing, criminal intimidation, harassment, criminal defamation and money laundering”. The complaint also alleged that Zafar used these funds via a shell company in Abu Dhabi.

Earlier it also was reported that the filmmaker had accused the Bhagnanis of not paying him Rs 7.30 crores, his fee for directing Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Zafar filed an official complaint with the Directors’ Association asking them to intervene. Following the complaint, the Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) also sent a letter to Vashu Bhagnani, seeking an explanation for the unpaid dues.

However, Pooja Entertainment denied Zafar’s claims and issued a statement which said, “The dues claimed do not constitute a legitimate claim and are liable to various set-offs, as informed to us by BMCM Films Ltd.” Later, FWICE also asked Ali Abbas Zafar to submit proof of his unpaid dues claim.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan starred Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chillar, Alaya F in pivotal roles. The movie released on Eid 2024 and somehow didn't work at the box office. Soon after the release Bhagnanis' Pooja Entertainment was declared bankrupt.
