Producer Vasu Bhagnani denied the rumor of selling the office and being in debt and said that those who think that the production company owes them money should come and meet him instead of talking on social media. Meanwhile, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) President BN Tiwari revealed that the crew members working in Vasu’s three films are owed more than Rs 65 lakh. During a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, (FWICE) President BN Tiwari said – The crew members working in Vasu Bhagnani’s three films ‘Mission Raniganj’, ‘Ganpat’ and ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ are owed more than Rs 65 lakh. In which ‘Mission Raniganj’ director Tinu Desai has Rs 33 lakh left out of Rs 4 crore. We are constantly contacting Pooja Entertainment, but the production house has not paid yet. We tried to talk to Vasu Bhagnani several times, but there was no response from his side. We are thinking about your dignity and you are violating our dignity. When this news spread in the media, his statement came that no one contacted him. Whereas our association is continuously trying to talk to him. If he does not pay our members, then we also know how to say ‘no’. We will not work with him. We will not stop his work, but all our members who will be on the set will come back. Recently, news came that producer Vasu Bhagnani sold his office to pay off the debt of Rs 250 crore. However, Vasu denied these reports and told that the building is being renovated. Vasu Bhagnani had told – Akshay was the first person who called me and said not to worry. If you need any kind of help, then tell me. I also got calls from Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty and old friend David Dhawan. I am very impressed with all of them, they always stand with me.
