Shailendra says he paid Rs 4 crore to Big B for Johnny Walker

Producer Shailendra Singh, known for backing National Award-winning films like Page 3 and Traffic Signal, has opened up about a long-standing dispute involving Amitabh Bachchan and filmmaker Shoojit Sircar over the unreleased film Shoebite. Singh claimed he had originally developed the story under the title Johnny Walker, which was later renamed Shoebite, and accused Shoojit of reselling the project to UTVs Ronnie Screwvala despite him having already paid Bachchan an advance of Rs 4 crore.
