Kevin Costner is suing a former business partner who helped propel him to stardom for $15 million, after the latter allegedly refused to relinquish stock in a company the actor is attempting to dissolve. .

Costner, 65, asked Jim Wilson to be his partner at his production company, Good Ones Production, in 1992, but is now attempting to dissolve the organization and retrieve stock Wilson acquired in the company, according to People.

However, Costner claims Wilson has refused to turn over the stock.

Lawsuit: Kevin Costner is suing a former business partner who helped propel him to stardom for $15 million, after the latter allegedly refused to relinquish stock in a company the actor is attempting to dissolve.

'Given that Costner and Wilson had not done business together for more than 12 years, and Wilson was no longer an officer of TIG, it made no sense for Wilson to hold bare legal title [Good Ones Production] stock,' reads the legal complaint obtained by People.
