Zee, which is the worldwide distributor of Kangana Ranaut starrer Thalaivi (Tamil and Hindi), has claimed a refund of Rs. 6 crore from its producers, Vibri Motion Pictures. Zee had paid advance towards the distribution rights of the film, of which Rs. 6 crore remains unrecouped. Hence it dashed off letters and emails to Vibri demanding repayment of the said Rs. 6 crore. On not getting any reply from the producers, Zee complained to the IMPPA.
Perhaps, Zee may have no option but to knock the doors of the court. For, it is more than a year-and-a-half since Thalaivi was released in the cinemas.
Interestingly, Kangana may shout from the rooftops that her starrers are successful at the box-office but the ground reality is just the opposite. Her producers and the distributors of her films are reeling under losses. Remember Dhaakad?
