Jackky Bhagnani reveals Akshay Kumar has opted to withhold his payments until all crew members receive their full dues

In recent weeks, several crew members have spoken out about delayed payments at Pooja Entertainment. Producer Jackky Bhagnani has now addressed the issue, expressing gratitude towards Akshay Kumar, who has opted to withhold his payments until all crew members receive their full dues.
In a statement, Bhagnani said, "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 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 at in the industry."
A couple of days ago, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) president BN Tiwari has said veteran film producer Vashu Bhagnani owes over Rs 65 lakh to crew members who worked on three of his films "Mission Raniganj", "Ganapath" and "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan". According to FWICE President, IFTDA has written multiple letters to Pooja Entertainment but they kept delaying the payment.
In a media statement, Vashu Bhagnani had said, "If there are people who claim that we owe them money, they should come forward and talk to us. Do they have a proper contract with Pooja Entertainment? Have they filed a case regarding this? There are so many ways to sort this rather than ranting on social media."
