Now as per fresh developments, the legal counsel of Eros has issued another notice which reads as below:
“The allegations in the Public Notice issued by Mr. Pravin Desai, Advocate on behalf of Base Industries Group in film trade Magazines Super Cinema and Bollywood & TV Reporter dated 23.06.2018 (said Notice) are false, and incorrect. The threats and intimidation therein against Eros in the said Notice are nothing but an ingenious device ploy and stratagem of a chronic defaulter/debtor to coerce, pressurize and intimidate Eros to withdraw its legitimate claim for recovery of Rs.30 Crores against Mr. Firoz A Nadiadwala as stated hereunder in respect of the film Welcome Back.
All relevant accounts of the exploitation of the rights of the film Welcome Back in a transparent manner was submitted to Mr. Firoz A. Nadiadwala who never objected to the same. Insofar as the threats and intimidation of Mr. Firoz A. Nadiadwala is concerned Eros may if so advised file appropriate legal proceedings to counter the same.
