While speaking to Republic Media Network, Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, representing the UAE-based firm mentioned that his client initiated 'strict legal proceedings' as the producers of 83 did not resolve the matter 'amicably'. He said-

"It is true that my client has filed a criminal complaint against all the Producers of the film 83 on the grounds of cheating and criminal conspiracy. My client had no other option but to initiate strict legal proceedings, as the producers did not seem interested in resolving the dispute amicably, despite full knowledge of my client's rights.  The matter would now be taken up by respective Courts."
