As reported 'Santoshi goes to the cops against Firoz Nadiadwala' after the producer allegedly visited the director's home and threatened to 'kill' him over money matters.
Nadiadwala has now initiated legal action against Santoshi and issued public notices in Bollywood's trade circuit alleging that Santoshi was paid over Rs 6 crore to direct three films for his banner.
This includes a film with Abhishek Bachchan, another film with Ranbir Kapoor and a third, a multi-starrer, with Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgn.
The producer claims that Santoshi went on to make films for other banners and apparently failed to keep his commitment nor did he repay the advance given to him.
He alleges that Santoshi has filed a false complaint and will recover the amount from him or from his future commitments as producer/director.
