New Delhi: The sequel of the 1997 superhit film Border is going to be released after 27 years. The shooting of the film has started and meanwhile a controversy has arisen again regarding the film. Actually, the financier and distributor of the film Bharat Shah issued a public notice to the makers of 'Border 2'. Bharat Shah has claimed that all the rights of Border are with him and Bina Bharat Shah.

Bharat Shah had approached the court in 2014 and accused JP Dutta of not giving him his share of Border's earnings. After the copyright claim, now Border 2 producer and JP Dutta's daughter Nidhi Dutta has reacted to Bharat Shah's claims.

Nidhi Dutta's reply to Bharat Shah

JP Dutta, while speaking with Zoom, said, "This case is sub-judice. The honourable High Court has all the facts for years and has dismissed the case in our favour. As per the agreement made by the association, Bharat Shah first has to pay us the excess amount, which he has not done for 27 years or given a single record of any business of the film till date."

Bharat Shah is not a part of Border 2

Nidhi Dutta further added, "That is why the agreement states that we are not liable to him for anything. When he stands by his commitment and pays us the additional amount pending for 27 years, we can take the matter forward, but he has no stake in Border 2."

Why did the fight happen?

When Border was being made, a deal was struck between director JP Dutta and Bharat Shah. Bharat Shah was financing the film. However, later there was a rift between the two. But a deal was already struck between them to divide the revenue 50-50 percent. Bharat Shah says that JP Dutta neither informed Bharat Shah about the money being spent on the film nor did he earn it.
