PVR Pictures takes on Raj Kumar Santoshi

A tussle has surfaced between the ace director Raj Kumar Santoshi and one of the most successful production houses PVR Pictures.

PVR Pictures has accused Santoshi of not keeping with a contract he had signed with the company and filed a petition in the Mumbai High Court.

The petition accuses the film maker of violating an exclusive Rs 60 crore deal for making two films for PVR.

The planned films were a romantic comedy called 'Backstreet Boyz' and a period film on the life of Emperor Ashoka.

Now that Santoshi has started the production of a film titled as 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' with Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles, PVR is stating that the director cannot continue with the shooting as according to the agreed contract he cannot make any new films without wrapping up the work on the two films stated in the contract agreement.

There is also an accusation of the story of 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' being very similar to that of 'Backstreet Boyz'.

Coming days will tell whether the case now in court will move on or whether the problem will be resolved quickly with an agreement of mutual understanding.
