Sunny Deol’s next film Border 2 is in controversy even before its release. This film is a sequel to ‘Border’ released in 1997.

Now film financier and distributor Bharat Shah, who was associated with that film, has issued a public notice to the makers of ‘Border 2’. A case is already going on in the court regarding the first part of the film.

There were differences between Bharat Shah and JP Through this notice, lawyer Ajay Khatlawala and Little & Company’s partner informed that their clients Bharat Shah and Bina Bharat Shah are the controllers of the world rights of the film ‘Border’. They had made an agreement with the film’s director and producer JP Dutta that they would finance this war film.

But there were differences between the two parties. However, it was decided earlier that whatever revenue the film generates will be divided equally. Not only this, JP Dutta also had to give information about the money being spent on the film to Bharat Shah.
