Oh, the drama never stops in the glitzy world of Bollywood, does it? Just when you think youāve heard it all, another scandal comes tumbling out like a badly choreographed dance sequence.

Vashu Bhagnani vs. Netflix: A Cash Clash! šøš„
Oh dear, Vashu Bhagnani, the man who could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his money, is back in the spotlight! This time, the producerās production house, Pooja Entertainment, is accusing Netflix of a ā¹47 crore con job. Yes, you heard it right. Apparently, Netflix hasnāt paid up for the streaming rights to three of Poojaās films: Hero No. 1, Mission Raniganj, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. A hefty sum of ā¹47.37 crore is whatās at stake here.
Netflix, not one to take such allegations lying down, has flipped the script, claiming itās actually Bhagnani who owes them money. I mean, seriously, who knew Bollywood had turned into a giant episode of Judge Judy? š
The Director Drama: Ali Abbas Zafar Enters the Fray š„
Vashu Bhagnani, my dear, you seem to be collecting enemies like theyāre rare PokĆ©mon cards. Director Ali Abbas Zafar has accused Vashu of holding back ā¹7.3 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 filmās 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. š¤¦āāļø
The Crew Conundrum: Unpaid Dues š¬š°
And if you thought the story ends there, think again. Back in July 2024, it was reported that Bhagnani hadnāt paid ā¹65 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 itās time to invest in a good accountant?
Nishaās Nutshell š„
In the grand Bollywood circus, the show must go on, even if it means pointing fingers and playing the blame game. Hereās the moral of todayās tale: In Bollywood, itās not just the drama on-screen that steals the spotlight; the off-screen antics are equally entertaining. So, if youāre 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!
