A source close to the parties revealed that the meeting was held to resolve an ongoing issue between a major star and Excel Entertainment. Given the recent headlines about the alleged rift between Ranveer and Farhan's production house, it appears that the gathering at Aamir’s residence may have been an attempt to settle the dispute.
