Complainant says invoices pertaining to use of equipment to shoot Ajay Devgn-starrer Maidaan haven’t been cleared since December 2020

WhatsApp chat messages between Boney Kapoor and the vendor
A commercial suit has been filed against renowned Bollywood film producer Boney Kapoor and his team over the non-payment of an outstanding bill of nearly Rs 1 crore with interest to a vendor, who facilitated camera-related equipment for shooting the upcoming flick of Ajay Devgn-starrer Maidaan. The suit, filed by Meherafrin Investments Private Limited at the city civil court in Dindoshi against Kapoor and other co-producers, has sought an injunction of the screening of the football-themed film, which is set to be released on Eid (either April 9 or 10).
When contacted, Kapoor said that it was an arm-twisting tactic to blackmail him when he had already promised to clear the outstanding amount to the vendor. However, the director of Meherafrin Investments Private Limited, Ninad Nayampally, alleged that Kapoor had been making false promises on multiple occasions to delay the clearance of outstanding bills.
