FIR against 83 makers, Deepika Padukone for alleged cheating

MUMBAI: Ranveer Singh-starrer 83 landed into legal trouble after a complaint was filed against the makers for cheating.

Actress Deepika Padukone, who is one of the producers of the film, has also been dragged into this controversial case. This episode might even hamper the release of the much-awaited movie.

As per a reports in The Times of India, a UAE-based financer claimed that his company invested approximately INR 16 crore in 83 and was promised good returns by Vibri Media.

However, the businessman didn’t get what was promised and he subsequently filed a complaint against the makers of 83 at the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Mumbai.

The capital was apparently used for the production of the movie but without getting any written consent or agreement from the businessman.

Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, who’s handling this case for the businessman, claimed in a statement that his client has filed a complaint against all the producers of 83 on the grounds of cheating and criminal conspiracy.

The movie is based on India’s triumph in the 1983 World Cup. The movie, which is set to hit the silver screen on December 24, will show how the Kapil Dev-led side defied all the odds and lifted the title in England.
