Pooja Entertainment employee calls out Jackky Bhagnani and Vashu Bhagnani’s company over non-payment of dues; calls it, “unprofessional, unethical behaviour”

Pooja Entertainment, owned by Jackky Bhagnani and Vashu Bhagnani, is facing several accusations from employees who have called out the company for non-payment of dues. One of them took to social media to share a lengthy note about the kind of ‘unprofessional’ and ‘unethical’ behaviour and practices of the company, furthermore, urging her colleagues to stand up and speak up about such issues on the platform.

The employee accuses the Bhagnani of ‘fraudulent practices’

“Not the one to ever make such posts but sometimes people need to be ousted! Seeing my team and the crew I worked with struggle day in and out to just get hold of our own hard earned money has compelled me to make this post. Read the sheer frustration of these young girls who have beautifully stated the absolute disregard @pooja_ent has and the sheer unprofessional, unethical behaviour that we all have been tolerating for way too long,” read the note. It continued, “Being dodged from person to another just to ask for our own money which was promised to be cleared within 45-60 working days post completion which in itself is also unprofessional but the crew graciously agreed as we r a bunch driven by passion for filmmaking. But to exploit this passion to such an extent should not be acceptable. There is no hope of getting paid but this post is to make the countless others aware of this fraudulent practices by @pooja_ent @jackkybhagnani @vashubhagnani and vouch to not work with them.”

Before signing off, the note requested everyone to reshare and repost it as much as possible. “Urge my friends to kindly reshare this post and ask other filmmakers to do so too. And if u r associated with any media houses who can escalate it or cover this that will b great,” the note concluded.

Other employees to shared notes about facing such issues

A certain Vaishnavi Paralikar too took to the platform to share her experience of working with the production, a couple of years ago, wherein she penned “I did a movie 2 years ago with a very well known production house. Me along with atleast a 100 crew members are awaiting our payments (2 month salaries) since 2 years. Meanwhile actor have been paid immediately because they are ACTORS. None of the producers have an answer to our question, Where is my hard earned money? Most importantly, When can i get my hard earned money?”

Pooja Entertainment recently produced Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Best known for producing some of the biggest blockbusters from the 90s like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Biwi No. 1, as well as the original Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, recently returned with another film with the same title that marked the latest release of the production house this year, in April. While the film differed completely in terms of not just actors and plotline but even the genre, compared to its predecessor, it failed to garner love from audiences. The film starred Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in lead roles along with Manushi Chhillar, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F, Ronit Roy, Prithviraj Sukumaran, among others in key roles.
