Salman Khan causes 'mental harassment and agony' to producer

Bollywood actor Salman Khan is in trouble - again.

Apart from the cases that are already in court and the ones whose verdicts are out, Khan has now gotten another case filed against him.

'Veer' producer Vijay Galani has sent a legal notice threatening to sue Bollywood superstar Salman Khan for almost Dh145 million for mental harassment and agony.

When Galani produced 'Veer' in 2010, he had paid Salman Khan Rs10 crore (INR) as his signing fee, and also told him that if the film does well at the box office, he will be paid Rs 15 crore from overflow.

The film didn't do well at the box office and after three months the producer received a notice from Salman asking him for 15 crores, to which Galani replied saying it was to be given if the film did well, which it didn't.

Three months after the release Salman had asked Galani for a copy of their earlier agreement.

Once Galani sent it to Khan, the latter had said that he wasn't okay with the terms of the agreement, and approached CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes Association), who ruled in Galani's favour.

Thereafter, Salman had gone to the Federation of Western India Cine Association, which had unilaterally issued a motion of non-cooperation against Galani.

Following the ruling, Galani approached the Producers' Guild, which is headed by Mukesh Bhatt.

Bhatt had sent a stern letter to the Federation of Western India Cine Association, saying that the non-cooperation decision wasn't valid, since it was unilateral.

Galani has now filed a defamation case for Dh145 million against Salman, alleging that the course of action that the star had taken has damaged his reputation as a producer.
