the Bombay High Court ruling in favour of
him. Not just that, he was also glad that he
is able to maintain the release date of
Parmanu The Story of Pokhran as May 25
too. While he is more than happy with the
way things have smoothened out, he
asserted that how he fought this battle
against his co-producer Prernaa Arora of
KriArj Entertainment alone.
For the uninitiated, let us remind you that
Parmanu The Story of Pokhran was
caught in a legal battle over non-payment of
dues. The production house of John
Abraham, JA Entertainment had moved the
court alleging that KriArj hasn't shelled out
its share of money despite the agreement
of taking care of expenses. Now, the court
has asked KriArj Entertainment to step out
of the film as producers. The recently
launched trailer features the names of JA
along with other producers Kyta
Productions and Zee Studios but doesn't
include KriArj as a part of it.
While both parties released their own
statements on the film, John Abraham also
was reportedly quoted saying that he did
not receive any support from the industry.
Interestingly, this is not the first KriArj film
that has been caught in the controversy.
Prior to this, Kedarnath, marking the debut
of Sara Ali Khan was stalled due to their
involvement, followed by which Ronnie
Screwvala took over the project.
Referring to these incidents, John
mentioned in reports that he didn't receive
support from anyone nor did he expect it.
He also added that the others were thankful
that they didn't have to fight this like him. At
the same time, he is also proud of the fact
that he had the courage to stand up for
what is right and that he was also
successful in cleaning up the mess.
Parmanu The Story of Pokhran also stars
Diana Penty, Boman Irani in lead roles and
is directed by Abhishek Sharma.
