Akshay had already left Nepal on May 8 after completing his schedule in Kathmandu
Kathmandu:
The unit of A Wednesday director Neeraj Pandey's next, tentatively titled Baby, starring Akshay Kumar is in trouble here after they allegedly failed to pay dues of Rs 25 lakhs (in Nepali currency) to a Nepali film management company.
"We have not detained anyone. We have called both the parties to reach an understanding," Abhi Narayan Kafle, Deputy Superintendent of Nepal Police at Gaushal Beat, told IANS.
"The Nepali side seized the shooting material claiming that the Indian side had failed to pay some due amount, so we have brought both the parties to the police station. We are trying to find a common ground," added Kafle.
Akshay had already left the city on May 7 after completing the shooting in various locations in Kathmandu.
Ram Krishna Pokhrel, chairman of the film management company Ice-fall Adventure Pvt Ltd, seized the shooting materials after the unit reached Tribhuvan International Airport to fly to Turkey via India without clearing his dues.
Ice-fall claimed that expenses on the shoot were around Rs 95 lakhs and they had received only Rs 70 lakhs.
The Indian film unit then sought the Nepal police's help.
The film unit claimed that they missed the 7 am flight on May 8 and it has resulted in more financial loss for them. They told the police that they made an arrangement where they were leaving one of their team members in the city to clear the dues, but Ice-fall rejected their proposal.
After failing to catch the flight, we have lost another Rs 50 lakhs (Indian currency), the Indian team told police.
The two parties didn't reach any understanding till evening.
The film revolves around two smugglers who dupe people in Mumbai and start a new business in Kathmandu. Pandey shot in posh locations around the city.
