Amitabh Bachchan's Stubbornness Shelved Film, Producer Lost 4 Crores

• Producer Shailendra Singh revealed he paid Amitabh Bachchan 4 crores for a film titled "Johnny Walker."
• Sujit Sircar was set to direct the film, but Bachchan insisted on producing it under his ABCL banner.
• Shailendra Singh refused to hand over production rights, leading to his separation from the project.
• The film was later made as "Johnny Mastana" by Ronnie Screwvala (UTV) but remains unreleased.
• Shailendra Singh initiated legal action, claiming UTV "hijacked" his project, with the case still ongoing.

Why It Matters: Amitabh Bachchan's demand to produce a film under ABCL led to its shelving and a legal battle.
