She had approached the Bombay High Court last month, seeking a stay on the film’s trailer over alleged non-payment of dues. On the other hand, the production house accused her of selling the film’s rights to a distributor in Bihar without the knowledge of the production house. The film released a few weeks ago was made on a budget of ₹20 crore. However, ever since it’s release, the film is not doing that great at the box office.
