Parmanu controversy: FIR filed against John Abraham by KriArj

The rift between John Abraham Entertainment and KriArj Entertainment- the producers of Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran- has intensified. After issuing official statements, terminating contracts and initiating legal battles, KriArj Entertainment has filed an FIR against actor John Abraham accusing him of 'cheating'.

A statement released by KriArj read, "FIR has been registered by Khar Police Station against John Abraham and his company JA Ent after criminal complaint was filed by Kriarj Entertainment for commission of various criminal offences including cheating, breach of trust, fraud, misappropriation of funds and copyright infringement due to John and his company duping KriArj Entertainment out of the crores of rupees invested by KriArj Entertainment towards the production of the film Parmanu."

Earlier, John's production house had alleged that "Delay in payments/non-payments (from KriArj), have caused delays in the post-production work after the film's principal shoot was completed by us in time and on schedule last year."

On Tuesday, John assured fans that the film would be releasing on May 4th. It was earlier scheduled to release in December 2017.
