Vikas Bahl Sex Scandal Aftermath: Reliance To Pull Out From Phantom?
That's the latest whisper in Bollywood. The corporate giant refuses to talk. The curtains continue to come down on Vikas-Anurag-Vikramaditya-Madhu's Phantom. It's trippy
Phantom's woes continue. After the news of Vikas Bahl's
sex scandal, Queen director Vikas is said to have been asked to quit. And then,
we brought you the news that his partner Madhu Mantena is fed up of the bad
publicity and in-fighting and has hence decided to go solo.
The latest buzz on Phantom is that its funding partner
Reliance Entertainment might pull out from the alliance.
While nothing is final yet and Shibasish Sarkar (COO, Reliance Entertainment)
refused to revert on the 'likely' withdrawl, the rumour that Reliance
Entertainment is thinking in this direction is growing by the minute. We also
texted Vikas, Madhu, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane- the four head
honchos of Phantom- but they too did not revert.
For those not in the know, Reliance Entertainment holds 50 % stakes, Anurag-Vikas-Vikramaditya-Madhu 12.5 % each.
A source says, "Combing with Phantom has given many
losses to Reliance Entertainment. The recent sex scandal in Phantom has given
rise to a lot of meetings in Reliance Entertainment, and it is likely that
Phantom (minus Vikas & Madhu?) may be left without an investor.
Take a look at the losses:
