Kangana Ranaut sends a leagl notice to 'I Love NY' producers

Actress Kangana Ranaut has sent a legal notice to the producers of her movie, 'I Love NY'. The movie 'I Love Ny', which was supposed to release in Feb last year, was postponed indefinitely. But now the producers have decided to release the movie to capitalize on Kangana Ranaut's new found success. "It is very unfortunate that without even informing my client, T-Series has unilaterally decided to theatrically release an old film starring my client amongst others. The film was originally abandoned by T-Series for almost six years, as it was not up to the mark and therefore, not commercially viable. It is obvious that T-series is trying to cash in on the current situation for personal gains and therefore, in discharge of their moral duty they neither informed my client nor asked her to promote the said film," reads a statement from Kangana Ranauts's lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee. But producer Bhushan Kumar has claimed that he has no control over the film's release as he sold the film rights nearly 18 months ago to Wave Cinemas. "No actor gives permission (for release) until and unless she is an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) member of the film. As far as the payment is concerned, we are replying to her notice with a copy of the bank receipts because all the payments were made in cheque. If she doesn't have the agreement copy or has misplaced it, she could have asked us for it. Without it, how does she know how much is pending?" read a statement from the producer. I Love NY (which expands into New Year), is directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru and stars Sunny Deol. The movie is scheduled to release on July 10.
