Exclusive: Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F, Manushi Chhillar await payment for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan from Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment

Sources close to the film told Indianexpress.com, “Tiger Shroff too has not received his fees for the film. He has maintained his silence on the non-payment of his dues for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan but after learning that the crew and the support staff, who gave the film their all, have also not been paid, he wants the production house to clear the dues immediately.”

Sources shared that Sonakshi, Alaya  F and Manushi Chhillar also await their fee. “None of these actors on the film have received their dues either. They completed their work on the film and even after requesting them a few times, there was no reply. They also promoted the film because they didn’t want to leave the film hanging, but there was no payment made.”

Indianexpress.com reached out to the representatives of Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment for a comment, but there was no response.

Indianexpress.com had previously reported that the estimated cost of the crew and vendors which is owed by Pooja Entertainment is around Rs 2.5cr.  Focus puller CH Ravi Kumar, who worked on the production house’s upcoming Arjun Kapoor starrer Mere Husband Ki Biwi is owed Rs 1,56,000 while actor Faraz Khan, who worked in Ganapath, hasn’t been paid his Rs 3, 00,000, which he was supposed to receive before the film hit the big screens last October.

The direction team of a yet to-be-released film of Pooja Entertainment, for example, was paid for five months but the salaries of the last two months– approximately Rs 7.5lacs–are reportedly still pending.

Last week, several crew members accused Bhagnani of non-payment of dues. In an Instagram post, done in collaboration with multiple people, the crew members tagged Pooja Entertainment, producers Vashu Bhagnani and his children, Deepshikha Deshmukh and actor Jackky Bhagnani, detailing their ordeal as “sheer frustration” of those who worked but weren’t paid.
