John Abraham Caught On The Wrong Foot, Defaults On Parmanu: KriArj Lashes Out
In a tale of twists and turns, KriArj is now giving it back to John Abraham for announcing that his company is breaking ties with them on the upcoming film, Parmanu
So, John Abraham
tried to pull a fast one on KriArj Entertainment this morning, when he
announced in the trade papers that he is breaking off ties with the company on
Parmanu.
This has enraged KriArj, and according to them, John is under contractual
obligation and he cannot do what he has done.
It is out in the
open since nearly a month that John was announcing different dates of the
film's release, which KriArj did not endorse--- thereby making it
clear that all was not well between them. It seems that it is John who is
trying to throw the spanner in the film's release, despite the fact that it is
ready since December 2017.
KriArj, which is
known to have not spoken against any actor, is now finally speaking against
John. Clearly, they have been pushed against the wall.
Talking to
SpotboyE.com, a KriArj official says, "In response to the trade notice
issued by JA Entertainment claiming termination of their agreement with us for
the film Parmanu, please note that the said termination is illegal and
invalid.
Our rights in the
Film as a joint producer/presenter and owner of all rights are fully secured,
we have always fulfilled all our commitments till date and have clear intent to
continue doing so. JA Ent has also always been aware that Zee Studios are
KriArj's partners in the film from very early stages as co-producers and also
the acquirers of the overseas theatrical, digital, satellite and music rights
of the film.
JA Ent has till
date not fulfilled it's commitment of completing and intimating us of the
completion the film and is fraudulently trying to delay the release of the film
thereby causing huge monetary losses and damage to our reputation. We had all
our plans of promoting the film and a wide release in place and were to kick
start the campaign shortly for which also there have been substantial expenses
already done. JA Ent has repeatedly put a spoke in the wheel and derailed the
marketing campaign which is hurting the prospects of the film and is the cause
of losses being continuously caused to us.
After making
substantial payments to them, JA Ent has kept making unreasonable demands for
money from us which are completely outside the scope of their initial
understanding with us. This has made it abundantly clear that they are trying
to defraud us by now attempting to wriggle out of a legally binding contract
with us which is not only unlawful but also unethical.
We hope better
sense prevails on JA Ent as we have been only looking towards the interest of
the film and the best possible release.
It goes without
saying that any one dealing with the film or any of its rights through JA Ent
will be doing so at their own risk and peril and will also have to face legal
consequences. We have already instructed our attorneys who will be moving the
necessary authorities soon for seeking justice against the breaches committed
by JA Ent and its promoter Mr John Abraham."
