Ekta Kapoor sues Sanjay Dutt over 1.5 crore

Mumbai, Nov 8: Television queen Ekta Kapoor sues actor Sanjay Dutt for Rs 1.5 crore which the producer has paid to Sanjay after signing a mega deal project in 2008. The project was supposed to be a joint venture of Suniel Shetty and Ekta Kapoor and the two producers signed Sanjay Dutt as the male lead. They paid Sanjay signing amount of 1.5 crore but the film did not go on floor and Sanjay also did not return them the amount.

According to Ekta Kapoor, the amount was paid to the actor at Shetty’s residence. Suniel recently knocked Manyata’s door for the amount but Manya did not pay much heed to their words and now situation turned worse after Ekta took the matter in her hand and took legal action against Sanjay.

Apparently. Ekta is in no mood to forgive the actor and has filed a lawsuit against him. "Money is money. And Ekta wants her money back. What's wrong in that? It is a justified demand and the Dutts should pay up," the report quotes a source as saying.

Currently, Sanjay is locked in Pune Yerawada jail serving his remaining 42-month-jail-term by the Supreme Court for illegal possession of weapons in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. The actor had spent 18 months in jail earlier.
