About Vashu Bhagnani non-payment row
Vashu Bhagnani and his production house, Pooja Entertainment, continue to face allegations of unpaid dues to crew members on several of his films. A few months ago, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) president BN Tiwari said that Vashu Bhagnani owes over ₹65 lakh to crew members, who worked on three of his films--Mission Raniganj, Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
A few days ago, BN Tiwari opened up about the complaints against Vashu Bhagnani. "We first received a complaint from Tinu Desai. He had a pending balance of about ₹33 lakhs for Mission Raniganj. Later, Vashu Bhagnani asked for some time, saying the payment would be made within a month. Part of the payment for our elite labour union was made after a month, but Tinu Desai's payment is still pending," he said as quoted by news agency ANI.
