He claimed the movie Ata Pata Laapata caused INR200-250 crore losses, worsening his finances.

History

Historical Context

In 1996 Amitabh Bachchan launched ABCL, which sponsored the Miss World pageant and soon incurred massive losses, leading to a Rs 90 crore debt and 55 lawsuits. The company entered bankruptcy protection in 1999, with the Bombay High Court freezing his property until loan disputes were settled. After its 2001 re-branding as AB Corp, the firm returned to profit, shaping today’s tighter financing scrutiny for Bollywood projects.
