Ajay Devgan refuses to shoot for Cash

Ajay Devgan has taken panga with the producer-director of his forthcoming film Cash. The actor apparently has refused to shoot or dub for the film any further. The reason is that his loyalty is with the other co-producer of the film who had fallen out with them. Says a unit member, “Ajay Devgan has allegedly told Anubhav Sinha, the producer-director of Cash that he signed the film only because of Sohail Maklai (co-producer) and not Sinha. Since Maklai has fallen out with Sinha, the actor prefers not to continue with Sinha. He was supposed to shoot for six more days for the film, but now has communicated to Sinha that he will not be available for shooting.”

Sources close to Sinha say, “Ajay has a written contract with them and even the payment that has been made to him is through the same company. If Devgan acts tough with them, they would definitely take strict measures.” Sinha on his part says, “I wonder why Ajay has said that he has done the film only because of Sohail Maklai. He has signed up with us and our company has issued cheques to him. I know Ajay is a sensible man and if he says he has done the film because of Sohail, it means it is morally incorrect.”

However, Ajay’s lawyer Nilesh Ghag clarifies, “We are following the arbitrator and as per the letter from the matter has been fixed for the preliminary meeting on June 13. Hence once the arbitrator decides the legal owner of he film Ajay Devgan will be completing the remaining shoot for the film to the legal owner.”
