Says a source close to Sachin, `In the capacity of a producer Sachin Joshi signed Mallika for a film that she agreed to do. He paid her a signing amount of Rs 75 lakhs.
However Mallika backed out of her commitment to do Sachin's film, leaving Sachin in a lurch. He however is yet to recover the money. In spite of repeated requests Mallika refuses to return the money. `
When we contacted Sachin Joshi he confirmed that Ms Sherawat indeed owes him Rs 75 lakhs. `I wish her well. But I want my money back. So far she has not done the needful. I've asked some prominent members of the film industry to mediate. If not I will take further action. `
