Bombay HC dismisses Firoz Nadiadwala's plea in ₹24-Crore suit

Filmmaker Firoz A Nadiadwala just lost his bid to stop a ₹24 crore lawsuit from businessman Anil Jethani, who says he never got paid after helping fund a 2015 movie project. The Bombay High Court said Nadiadwala was already involved through his lawyers, so there was no need for extra legal paperwork.

TL;DR

Case stems from a 2015 agreement to finance film

The dispute started after a July 2015 agreement to finance the film. One defendant got back ₹12.5 crore, but Nadiadwala still owed the rest before releasing "Welcome to the Jungle." Even though he argued that missing summons should void the order, the court pointed out he'd been kept in the loop and had joined hearings with his legal team. The case is a reminder: showing up and following proper legal steps really matters in business disputes.
