Since the failure of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan at the box office, there have been numerous rumors regarding the production house Pooja Entertainment’s unpaid dues. However, the production and distribution company has finally broken the silence on the issue, sharing that Akshay Kumar has taken a step forward to help them.
Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) President BN Tiwari claimed that film producer Vashu Bhagnani owes over 65 lakh to the crew members of three of his films, which include Mission Raniganj, Ganapath, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
Vashu Bhagnani’s son, Jackky Bhagnani, the co-producer of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, finally responded to clear up the financial allegations against their production house. Bhagnani said that “Akshay sir met me recently to discuss this matter. Upon learning about this situation, Akshay sir didn’t hesitate to step forward and show his support for the crew. He has insisted that his payments be placed on hold until every single cast and crew member working on our projects receive their full and final payment”.
We are incredibly grateful for Akshay sir’s understanding and his willingness to stand with us during this time. The movie business hinges on strong relationships and that is the spirit we strive to foster in the industry,” he added in a statement.
