Raj Kumar Santoshi is likely to be sued by K Sera Sera for not returning the signing amount of a film. The director who has made huge money from his recent hit Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani however has a strange excuse. He says that if he pays back the money he will not be able to run his kitchen.

Threatening to take the matter to court soon, Sanjay Lai, MD, K Sera Sera, informs Mumbai Mirror, “We had signed Santoshi for a film in 2007 and paid him Rs 1.10 crore but since the film didn’t take off we requested him to return the money."

"After dilly-dallying for a while he flatly told us that he doesn’t have the money to pay us. He gave us a very strange argument saying that if he pays us the money he will not be able to run his kitchen," continues Lai.

It might be recalled that Santoshi is known for announcing films and not making them. So we wonder if he's planning to make a film from the signing amounts he's received from various producers!
