The sequel of the 1997 superhit film ‘Border’ is going to be released after 27 years, whose release people are eagerly waiting for. The shooting of the film has also started and the star cast of ‘Border 2’ is also slowly being revealed. On the other hand, Sunny Deol’s film ‘Border 2’ has got embroiled in controversies even before its release. Actually, a legal battle has started between Bharat Shah and Nidhi Dutta over copyright. The film’s financier and distributor Bharat Shah issued a public notice to the makers of ‘Border 2’.

Nidhi Dutta gave a befitting reply to Bharat Shah
In 2014, Bharat Shah had accused JP Dutta of not giving him half of the earnings of ‘Border’ and the matter reached the court. After the copyright claim, now ‘Border 2’ producer and JP Dutta’s daughter Nidhi Dutta has responded to Bharat Shah’s claims by calling them false. In an interview to Zoom, she said, ‘We have won this case in the court. The Hon’ble High Court has all the information related to it and they also dismissed the case in our favor. According to the agreement made by the association, Bharat Shah will have to pay us the extra first and not us and not only this, it has been 27 years and till date he has not given a single record of any business of the film.’

Nor does he have any part in Border 2.’ Let us tell you that a deal for 50-50 percent revenue division had already been done between JP Dutta and Bharat Shah.
