Both Dhariwal and Srivastava have been in the news recently for some extravagant purchases. If Dhariwal hit the headlines after he bought his daughter a Rs 50 million Maybach super luxury limo as a birthday present, Srivastava - who started out as a scientist from Dayalbagh, Agra - is the same person who recently entered into a deal to buy 125 MF Hussain paintings for Rs 1 billion.

It is pertinent to note that Srivastava was already a co-sponsor of the Filmfare Awards.
