Commenting on the same, Bharat Shah says, "Yes we have issued a legal notice to J.P.

Detailing the case Shah adds, "Border that released in 1997 went on to become a superhit and Dutta was supposed to share a part of the profits made from the film with us. However, he has refused to honour this and continues to turn a blind eye on the case."
