The legal wrangle between Tusshar and the producers of his adult comedy, Mastizaade, may see a closure in the coming weeks. The Bombay High Court (HC), which is hearing the case filed by the actor for clearance of his dues of Rs 44 lakh, will soon appoint an arbitrator to resolve the monetary dispute. Sources, however, say the producers have already deposited the amount with the court.

The dispute began when producer Rangita Nandy reportedly sent a legal notice to the actor for not promoting Mastizaade. In his reply, Tusshar's counsel is said to have told the producers that the actor was waiting for his dues to be cleared, post which he would readily allot promotion dates for their film. Since there was no word from them, the star-son then moved the HC for clearance of his dues.

Last July, Tusshar completed dubbing for the film, which finally released on January 29 following a long battle with the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification). With no sign of his money, the actor decided to take the legal route to recover his dues. First, notices on his behalf were issued through film trade magazines. Rangita Nandy reportedly replied saying their company has no history of non-payment to any actor.

A source says, “The court will appoint an arbitrator, mutually acceptable to both parties, to resolve the monetary dispute over Tusshar's dues.“

We contacted the actor who confirmed the news. However, since the matter is sub judice, he didn't wish to add anything further. We also contacted Rangita who declined as the matter is before the judicial authorities.
