The fallout between John Abraham and KriArj Entertainment, the makers of ‘Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran’ is getting intense by the day.
Few days ago, KriArj entertainment’s Prernaa Arora files an FIR against the actor accusing him of charges including breach of trust, fraud, misappropriation of funds and copyright infringement in regards to the film Parmanu.
Now, it is been reported that John Abraham has filed three criminal complaints against Prernaa Arora and KriArj Entertainment for cheating, breach of trust, defamation and offences committed under the Information Technology Act.
In a press release issued by JA Entertainment, “John Abraham, through his production house JA Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. had signed a Co-production agreement with Prernaa Arora’s company Kriarj Entertaiment Pvt. Ltd. wherein Kriarj had agreed to pay Rs 35 crores to John’s company to cover the cost of production, fees of all actors and other production related expenses and had also agreed to additionally bear the Print and Advertisement expenses (P&A) for the film Parmanu- The Story of Pokhran against which John had agreed to assign the exploitation rights and 50% IPR of the film to Prernaa’s company. ”

“However, after Prernaa’s repeated delays in making payments by stopping cheque payments and giving wrong bank transfer details (UTR numbers) at every stage and refusal to pay the last tranches of payment, which were critical for completing the post-production work of the film, John followed the due process as laid down by law. He first gave a legal notice to cure the breach and after Prernaa’s failure to cure the breaches, John terminated the agreement with Prernaa in order to save his film. After this termination, which is a purely Civil Dispute, Prernaa filed a false criminal complaint against John and started making defamatory statements against him in the media. Prernaa also illegally started blocking the online publicity materials launched by John for the promotion of his film. John also came to know that Prernaa had, without his knowledge, already recovered monies in excess of what she had to pay him from various third parties and yet did not pay him his dues.”
Parmanu revolves around the successful nuclear tests conducted in Pokhran, Rajasthan in 1998. It has been shot at multiple locations including Delhi, Jaisalmer and Pokhran and also stars Diana Penty and Boman Irani in key roles.
Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film is slated to release on May 4, 2018.
