Monday, 10th Aug 2015, 4:45 PM IST Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Namaste England’ has landed into a controversy even before the production of the film could begin. T-Series has filed complaint against Mahesh Bhupathi’s production house for cheating them. It is learnt that in June 2015, Blue Whale Motion Pictures, which has Mahesh Bhupathi as one of the producers in it, had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with T-Series, for jointly producing ‘Namaste England’ and money was exchanged. In the same MoU, T-Series was also given exclusive music rights and IP in the Akshay Kumar starrer. And now, it is said that the film is being made by third parties on similar lines as what was agreed between Mahesh Bhupathi's company and T-Series. If sources are to be believed, Mahesh Bhupathi, Virender Arora, Prerna Arora and Arjun N Kapoor have been served with a legal notice by T-Series. They have stated that the producers have defrauded T-Series by setting up dummy companies to enter into agreements with third parties for independently producing the film. Ajay Kapoor of T-Series said, "We have a valid, subsisting and irrevocably binding MoU dated June 10, 2015 wherein T-Series is co-producing the film ‘Namaste England’ as one of the owners in the IP of the film. Further, all rights in the music and audio visual of the said film has also been assigned in our favour. Any attempt by any party to circumvent and/or negate the said MoU or wriggle out of the contractual obligation shall tantamount to copyright infringement, fraud, unfair business practice, dishonestly misappropriating property, criminal breach of trust, cheating, breach of confidentiality and wrongful disclosure of confidential information." Ajay further confirmed that a complaint has been filed, however he didn’t divulge any details about it.
