The ongoing controversy surrounding the Northern Movie Awards has escalated as the CEO of the prestigious awards scheme, Mr. Saeed, has fired back at Papa Sango, the Overall Actor of the Year, over his demand for a refund.
In a bold and unapologetic response, Mr. Saeed categorically stated that the scheme will not refund a single pesewa to anyone, dismissing Papa Sango’s claims as baseless. He further dared the actor to take the matter to any authority or individual, emphasizing that he is ready to face any challenge head-on.
This response comes after Papa Sango’s public outburst, where he accused the awards board of failing to honor their past tradition of gifting the Overall Actor a branded car. Feeling shortchanged, he demanded a refund of his investment and threatened to fight the scheme spiritually, physically, and financially if his demand was not met.
However, Mr. Saeed appears unshaken by the threats, standing firm on his decision. His response has sparked mixed reactions within the industry, with some siding with the organizers, arguing that Papa Sango should have understood the terms of the competition before participating. Others believe that if previous winners were rewarded with cars, the scheme should have maintained that standard.
