Raaj Shaandilyaa BREAKS SILENCE on Ekta Kapoor dispute; says Bhagam Bhag 2 is “on track” Filmmaker Raaj Shaandilyaa has issued a detailed statement responding to reports of a legal dispute with Balaji Telefilms, headed by Ekta Kapoor, which had reportedly impacted the shooting schedule of Bhagam Bhag 2.

"A legal notice was sent to Raaj, as well as producers Ashwin Varde and Cape of Good Films, to stall the shoot. "Seeing the complexities in the project, the producers decided to cancel the schedule until the legal issues are resolved. The film has, for now, gone on the back burner and could be revived with a new director in the months to come. At the moment, all the stakeholders are trying to resolve issues.
