The Begum Jaan Battle: Distributors v/s Mukesh Bhatt

Keeping up with our daily dose of Bollywood masala, our Khabri Keeda gave us news that is sure to leave some Vidya Balan fans disappointed. The actress was already in the news for her legal mess with regard to her Kamala Das biopic.

Balan walked out of the project just before the film could go on floors, stating that she could not ‘connect’ with the character, and successfully landed herself in a legal soup. Now, KK tells us that Vidya’s upcoming film, Begum Jaan has dived into that very legal soup too.

Turns out, the producer of the film, Mukesh Bhatt is in the middle of a tiff with RNA Play Entertainment, the distributors of the film. The distributors were supposed to pay Mukesh Bhatt, but they failed to do so. Now, RNA Play Entertainment has been slapped with a legal notice from Mukesh Bhatt and the Begum Jaan team.

Yikes! Is Vidya Balan the jinx to this, given that her previously planned project was dipped in a legal mess too? Or is it just a bad rapport between the two parties?

With the film set to release within 45 days (14th April, 2017), we wonder how Mukesh Bhatt will manage to get a new distributor?!
