Kashif rejects rumors related to his deal with Engin Altan
In addition, it is also stated that the wanted outlaw had struck a deal of 1 million dollars with Engin Altan, but paid only half of it. However, prior to his apprehension, Sialkot based entrepreneur Kashif Zameer had uploaded a detailed video message, refusing the rumors about his deal with the legendary actor.
Zameer stated, “We finalized this before that half payment will be when he comes to Pakistan when ticket confirms and then half when he comes back for the shoot,” he told Daily Pakistan. “Everybody works like this. Nobody gives full payment at once, what do I know if he will come back for the shoot or not.”
“The paper that has come to the surface only shows one part of it which mentions that the total was to be $10 lac with an 80,000 agency fee- from which $5 lac, and the agency fees have been paid. And the rest will be paid after the shoot,” he clarified.
“He [Düzyatan] has no doubts about me, he knows everything. The thing is; many big brands from Pakistan even offered big payments to him to work with them but he never agreed.”
It is only luck that he came to work with me. And the same people are just showing their jealousy.”
