The story goes that the Nawab of Pataudi quit Excel's film Mr Chaalu without returning the signing amount of Rs 2 crore. Despite reminders, Saif did not comply.
Seeing no other option, Farhan and Ritesh had filed a complaint with the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Program Producers (AMTPP).
Now, producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who is the president of the association, has stepped in to calm matters. He is close to Saif and is also producing Saif's next Rangoon directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Sources say he spoke to Saif and made him understand that this was a pointless obstinacy and life would be much easier for everyone involved if he just returned the signing amount.
Saif has finally agreed to return the money to Farhan and Ritesh, and he'll be doing it soon.
A calm word can do more wonders than a harsh complaint isn't it?
