Jackky Bhagnani Production House: Producer Jacky Bhagnani seems to be in trouble. Actually, Jacky Bhagnani’s production house Pooja Entertainment is being accused of not paying the crew members. Reports have also revealed that Jacky Bhagnani has not paid the fees to the actors as well. Some users on social media have given details of the injustice done to them.
Jackie Bhagnani runs a production house named Pooja Entertainment with his father Vashu Bhagnani. Crew member Ruchita Kamble has shared screenshots of some other people’s Instagram stories on her Instagram. It has been claimed in these that she was not paid fees after working in Jackie Bhagnani’s production house.
100 crew members did not receive their fees!
The first screenshot is of a user named Vaishnavi Parlikar, who wrote- ‘I did a film with a very popular production house 2 years ago. I along with at least 100 crew members were waiting for our payment for two months. Whereas the actors were paid immediately and no makeup house has an answer to our question.’
‘He has a lot of money to spend on himself’
The second screenshot is of a user named picharesqueframes. Who writes- ‘Producers travel in business class almost every month. They go on vacations, live life to the fullest, buy cars, gift luxuries, make money by making and releasing films. But after not paying for years, when it comes to paying the crew, they say there is a shortage of funds. But they have a lot of money to spend on themselves. This is very wrong.’
Crew member wrote the post
Ruchika Kamble has shared these screenshots and appealed to people not to work with Pooja Entertainment. She has written- ‘I am not one of those who post such things, but sometimes there is a need to tell people the truth! Seeing my team and crew struggling day and night to get their hard-earned money, I was forced to post this.’
‘One person is being fooled by another person…’
Ruchika further wrote- ‘Read the sheer desperation of these young girls who have beautifully narrated the sheer unprofessional, unethical behavior of Pooja Entertainment, which we all have been tolerating for too long. Being duped from one person to another just to ask for their money, which was promised to be cleared in 45-60 work days after completion, which in itself is unprofessional.’
Production house accused of exploitation
The user further said- ‘The crew graciously agreed because we were a group inspired by the passion of filmmaking. But this passion should not be exploited to such an extent. There is no hope of getting payment, but this post is to make countless others aware of this fraudulent strategy of Pooja Entertainment, Jacky Bhagnani and Vasu Bhagnani and vow not to work with them.’
Even the actors were not paid their fees!
Hindustan Times, while investigating this matter, has claimed in its report that the allegations being made on Pooja Entertainment in these posts are true. The report says that along with the crew, the starcast of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F and Prithviraj Sukumaran have also not been paid. Claiming lack of funds, the actors were also told that they will be paid after the completion of the film.
Tiger Shroff said this
It is written in the report that on not getting the fees for ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, Tiger Shroff said- ‘I have nothing to say at the moment.’ Ronit Roy also replied- ‘I have nothing to say.’
