Nawazuddin Siddiqui has dragged ZEE Studios to court for non-payment issues for his Haddi movie.
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays the lead role in Haddi movie which released in cinemas on 7th September.
As per reports, Nawazudin is represented by Kumar and Associates and have claimed that Rs 5 crore was due to him as payment, while accepting having received Rs 4.5 Crore for his work.
A source said, “Nawaz is shooting himself in his foot. He wanted a sta- order on Haddi for non-payment of his dues. But the honourable High Court judge saw no reason to stop the film’s release(on September 7) . He has granted Zee Studios time to respond to Nawazuddin’s allegations of non-payment.”
The source went on to add, “Out of the 5 crores that was promised to Nawaz as his fee for Haddi, only Rs 50 lakhs are pending. It is normal procedure to pay a small amount after the film’s marketing and release. Nawaz claims he shot for more days for Haddi than he had agreed to and must be paid extra. Since when have actors started asking for extra money for extra days of shooting? By the way Nawaz has done another film with Zee Studios, tentatively titled Love Is Blind. It wrapped up fifteen days earlier than scheduled.Should we ask Nawaz for a refund?”
