“We have now received a complaint from Director Mr. Ali Abaas Zafar for not being paid his direction fees for the film ‘BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN’ which was released on 11th April 2024. Not only this, we have received complaints from the largest association of daily wage setting workers FSSAMU, regarding the nonpayment of the dues of these poor daily wage workers. We have gone through all the contracts and come to the conclusion that our workers, technicians, artists, and vendors owe a huge amount of money which the said producer will have to pay. We are trying our best to sort out the above issues and hope that Vashu Bhagnani ji comes forward and clears all the payments which would be in the interest of all those who contribute to making the film as it’s their right to earn what they have worked for,” concluded the statement.

Earlier in June, several crew members who worked on Pooja Entertainment films had shared how they had to sell their house and plead to get hospital bills paid because their payments from the production house were not cleared.
