A Hollywood producer has been accused of wrongfully suing to halt the release of Netflix’s “The White Tiger” starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, according to new court papers.
In the 2013 agreement, Hart and his company at the time allegedly gave up his rights to the movie adaptation and also gave up his right to sue over the movie in exchange for “substantial payments,” according to the filing in Manhattan Supreme Court. Hart – who produced films including 1999’s “Boys Don’t Cry” and 2008’s “Revolutionary Road” – “egregiously claimed that he still had an interest in the motion picture adaptation,” despite the 2013 settlement, the suit alleges.
Hart’s “India lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to extort money from Lava Media with the anticipated release of the movie expected to be financially successful,” the Manhattan filing charges.Lava attorney Brian Brick told The Post: “The reality is this lawsuit didn’t just breach the contract but they interfered with the relationship that Lava has with Netflix.
