Vasu Bhagnani Cries Fraud: Claims Netflix Stiffed Him 47 Crores Over OTT Rights for 3 Flicks | Netflix in Hot Water: Bhagnani Alleges OTT Rights Payment Stalemate

Oh, the drama never stops in the glitzy world of Bollywood, does it? Just when you think youā€™ve heard it all, another scandal comes tumbling out like a badly choreographed dance sequence. So, sit back, grab your popcorn, and let Bollywood Newshound Nisha spill the tea on todayā€™s cinematic soap opera. šŸŽ¬šŸæ

Vashu Bhagnani vs. Netflix: A Cash Clash! šŸ’øšŸ”„

Oh dear, Vashu Bhagnani, the man who could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his money, is back in the spotlight! This time, the producerā€™s production house, Pooja Entertainment, is accusing Netflix of a ā‚¹47 crore con job. Yes, you heard it right. Apparently, Netflix hasnā€™t paid up for the streaming rights to three of Poojaā€™s films: Hero No. 1, Mission Raniganj, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. A hefty sum of ā‚¹47.37 crore is whatā€™s at stake here.

Netflix, not one to take such allegations lying down, has flipped the script, claiming itā€™s actually Bhagnani who owes them money. I mean, seriously, who knew Bollywood had turned into a giant episode of Judge Judy? šŸ™„

The Director Drama: Ali Abbas Zafar Enters the Fray šŸŽ„

Vashu Bhagnani, my dear, you seem to be collecting enemies like theyā€™re rare PokĆ©mon cards. Director Ali Abbas Zafar has accused Vashu of holding back ā‚¹7.3 crore for his work on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. In fact, Ali was so frustrated he took his grievances to the Directors Association.

But wait, it gets juicier! Bhagnani retaliated by accusing Ali of misusing subsidy funds during the filmā€™s shoot in Abu Dhabi. He even tried to file a police complaint, but alas, no FIR was registered. These two are more dramatic than any on-screen couple, I tell you. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

The Crew Conundrum: Unpaid Dues šŸŽ¬šŸ’°

And if you thought the story ends there, think again. Back in July 2024, it was reported that Bhagnani hadnā€™t paid ā‚¹65 lakh to the crew members of one of his films. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had to step in to mediate. Seriously, Vashu, maybe itā€™s time to invest in a good accountant?

Nishaā€™s Nutshell šŸ„œ

In the grand Bollywood circus, the show must go on, even if it means pointing fingers and playing the blame game. Hereā€™s the moral of todayā€™s tale: In Bollywood, itā€™s not just the drama on-screen that steals the spotlight; the off-screen antics are equally entertaining. So, if youā€™re planning to join this industry, come prepared with a thick skin, a good lawyer, and maybe a piggy bank big enough to hold a few crore!
