When contacted, Rampal, who had launched this luxury nightclub in 2009, directed us to his legal team, that confirmed that there is a dispute regarding the dues payable.

“There is some issue pending with regard to settlement of certain accounts with ITDC in respect of LAP, and the matter is now sub ­judice. We are ­working on it and are confident about resolving it with ITDC amicably,” said Rampal’s advocate, Ateev Mathur, adding that they believe there could be some accounting errors, too.

ITDC sources reveal that the actor was sent reminders several times before a legal notice was issued. “Arjun Rampal’s contract will be ­renewed only once he clears his dues,” said a source from ITDC.
