Recently, Indianewsget revealed that Pooja Entertainment founder and famous film producer Vasu Bhagnani had frozen Rs 7.3 crore from director Ali Abbas Zafar.
In his investigation, Indianewsget had found that Ali had also filed a complaint against Vasu with the Directors’ Association.
Vasu had gone to lodge a complaint against Ali with the police. After this, Vasu also accused director Ali of misusing the subsidies received from the Abu Dhabi authorities during the shooting of the film ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’. Vasu had also gone to lodge a police complaint against Ali in this case but his FIR was not registered.

All three gave no response Indianewsget also tried to speak to Vasu Bhagnani, his son Jackky Bhagnani and director Ali Abbas Zafar about the matter, but so far no response has been received from the three.
Ali said: The matter concerns the association. Earlier, when Indianewsget had contacted Ali Abbas Zafar in the Rs 7.3 crore case, he had said, “Look, this matter is a matter for the directors’ association. I can’t say anything about this at the moment. Saying this, he hung up.
A source close to Ali had said: Ali does not want this thing to be revealed yet. They fear that if this comes to light, their payment will be blocked.
Ali had directed the film ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ under Vasu’s banner Pooja Entertainments, for which he is yet to receive payment.
Vasu said – all these unnecessary allegations Indianewsget had also tried to know Vasu Bhagnani’s view on this issue. Vasu had said: If you get proof, then go for it. Otherwise, post information against people who make such baseless allegations.
Vasu started the production company Pooja Entertainment in 1995 in the name of his wife Pooja Bhagnani. His first film as a producer was “Coolie No. 1”.
