Border 2 Movie: Sunny Deol's iconic film 'Border' is one of the most loved and memorable films of Indian cinema. Released in 1997, the film not only achieved great success at the box office but also made a special place in the hearts of Indian audiences. Now that its sequel 'Border 2' has been announced, there is a lot of excitement among the fans. However, the recent dispute between the producer of this film JP Dutta and financier Bharat Shah has disrupted this excitement to some extent.

Bharat Shah sent legal notice to JP Dutta

According to reports, Bharat Shah, who financed the film 'Border', has accused JP Dutta of financial misconduct. According to him, under an agreement made in 1994, the profits from 'Border' were to be divided equally, but Bharat Shah claims that he has not received a single share of the profit till now. Due to this controversy, Bharat Shah has sent a legal notice to JP Dutta, alleging that he was not even given information related to the earnings of the film.

Nidhi Dutta's response

JP Dutta's daughter and 'Border 2' producer Nidhi Dutta issued an official statement reacting to the matter. She completely rejected all the allegations made by Bharat Shah and called it false and baseless. Nidhi shared a press release on behalf of JP Films on X (earlier Twitter), which clearly stated that the allegations made by Bharat Shah are made only to create public sensation and have no solid basis.

The press release said, "All the allegations made against JP Dutta in the notice issued by Little & Company on behalf of Bharat Shah are completely baseless. This is only an attempt to grab public attention and create sensation."

The controversy took a serious turn

After this statement issued by JP Films, the controversy has deepened even more. While Bharat Shah has demanded his share from the film's profits, JP Films has called it a mere sensationalist ploy. This makes it clear that the dispute between the two parties is not going to be resolved soon, and it may also affect the future of 'Border 2'.

Bharat Shah's allegations

The notice issued by Bharat Shah said that as per the agreement made in 1994, the profits from the film were to be divided equally, but JP Dutta neither gave him any share nor shared any information about the film's earnings. This notice was published in film trade journals, in which Bharat Shah made these allegations through his lawyer Ajay Khatlawala.

Impact on 'Border 2'

Although this dispute does not seem to directly affect the shooting or release of the film, such disputes can affect the promotion and marketing of the film. Fans are eagerly waiting for this sequel, and in such a situation it will be interesting to see in which direction this controversy goes and what effect it has on the film.

Conclusion

As much as the announcement of 'Border 2' was exciting, this controversy has raised concerns in the minds of fans. This controversy between Bharat Shah and JP Dutta has become a new topic of discussion in the film industry. Although it is clear from the statement given by Nidhi Dutta that she does not want to give much importance to this controversy, but it will be interesting to see what legal solution comes out of this matter.
