Producer Vishnu Induri has responded to the legal hassle around Ranveer Singh’s and Deepika Padukone’s ’83. The film has been directed by Kabir Khan and is based on India’s 1983 World Cup win.
Induri’s spokesperson issued a clarification and said, “In the wake of the ongoing reports of a legal case filed against the makers of the upcoming film ‘83, on behalf of Vibri Media, we would like to deny the claims of the complainant and clarify the makers of ‘83 are in no way concerned with the case. The complaint of Future Resources FZE against the producers of the film ‘83 is false, baseless and motivated.”
The statement further reads, “Future Resources FZE is a minority shareholder in Vibri Media, there have been internal disputes between the promoters of Vibri Media Pvt Ltd and the complainant, which are pending in various courts. The complainant Future Resources FZE has been restrained by the Hon’ble Telangana high court from interfering with the movie ‘83 in any manner.”
It concluded with, “This action of the complainant prior to the release of the film is motivated, a publicity gimmick and constitutes contempt of court for which Vibri Media Pvt Ltd is availing its legal remedies against the Complainant. The film ‘83 and the producers are in no way concerned with this and they reserve their right to initiate appropriate action against Future Resources FZE.”
