Hairstylist takes Cash co-producer to court

Perry Patel filed a legal complaint against Sohail Maklai, alleging non-payment of dues
Hairstylist Perry Patel, who is a regular with the likes of Hema Malini and Farah Khan, has gone to the Appellate Court (Andheri) against producer Sohail Maklai, alleging non-payment of dues for his work in Cash, co-produced by Maklai and Adlabs.
Patel confirmed the news saying, "Sohail made me wait for five years but I can't take it any longer.Hence I have approached court.”
Patel claims Maklai owes him Rs 5 lakh. “Two of Sohail’s cheques bounced. I tried calling him but he did not respond. Once when I did reach him, he simply said ‘Jo karna hai kar le’,” said the hairstylist. “Ï have suffered too much because of Sohail’s unprofessional behaviour. I could not pay off a salon in Juhu, which I would have otherwise held a stake in. Thereafter, my father was very ill but all my please to Sohail fell on deaf ears,” he added.
Apparently, Maklai has had a major fall out with Adlabs. However, Patel says that is not his problem. “My deal was with Sohail, and he has no right to withhold my money. I completed the work he assigned. Show me the money,” he said.
Maklai remained unavailable for comment.
