Vin Diesel is likely feeling quite angry as his former colleague attempts to deceive him. TMZ reports that the 48-year-old actor is facing a lawsuit from George Zakk, a previous partner who used to manage Diesel’s production company, One Race Films. Zakk alleges that he is entitled to a portion of the profits from the upcoming xXx sequel.

Vin Diesel is facing a lawsuit from his former business partner who is seeking a significant payment from his upcoming film, even though they have not collaborated for almost a decade. The film producer in question has not been associated with Vin Diesel since 2007. According to court documents, the plaintiff, Zakk, argues that his initial agreement with Diesel entitles him to a payment ranging from $250,000 to $275,000, as well as a producer’s credit for each of Diesel’s films. This agreement was in place for movies such as Chronicles of Riddick, The Pacifier, and the original xXx released in 2002. Despite the lack of recent collaboration, Zakk maintains that the agreement still applies to xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage, scheduled for release in the coming year.

George Zakk, a former executive at actor Vin Diesel’s production company One Race Films, has filed a lawsuit claiming that he deserves a share of the profits from the upcoming xXx sequel. One Race Films was founded by Diesel in 1995 and was managed by Zakk for a span of 12 years before he left the company. Despite their past collaboration, Zakk is now taking legal action against Diesel for allegedly violating their contract. One Race Films has been credited in the previous four Fast & Furious movies and will also receive credit in the highly anticipated Fast 8, set to be released in 2017. Recently, Diesel made headlines by filming Fast 8 in Cuba, marking it as the first American film to be shot on the Caribbean island.

Are we still going? The agreement was for movies like Chronicles of Riddick, The Pacifier, and the original xXx back in 2002. The main character in the series, Dominic Toretto, is said to have Cuban roots, which Vin Diesel acknowledged in an Instagram video to commemorate the occasion last month. He expressed his excitement at being in Havana, Cuba, and marveled at the beauty of the place and its people. He mentioned that many doubted they would be able to shoot there, but they proved them wrong. Vin Diesel and the rest of the crew felt incredibly proud to be in Cuba, as it is where the Torettos story began. This upcoming installment, titled Fast 8, is set to hit theaters on April 17. Alongside Vin Diesel, the movie will feature Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Eva Mendes, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham, Charlize Theron, and Scott Eastwood. It will be the first film in the franchise to be released without Paul Walker, who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2013, excluding the 2006 film Tokyo Drift.

Having a blast in Havana: Vin Diesel has created a momentous milestone by filming the eighth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise in Cuba, thus marking it as the inaugural American movie to be shot on this breathtaking Caribbean island.
