Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Stars Remain Unpaid For Film 2 Months After Its Release?

Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment has recently landed in a soup after several crew members of their latest project Bade Miyan Chote Miyan alleged non-payment of dues by the production company. After the film’s underwhelming performance at the box office, several crew members alleged the production company of non-completion of dues. Amid this, reports are now claiming that the lead cast members are also yet to be paid their share of the remuneration. 

Salaries of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan cast not been paid yet? 

Sources close to the development of the movie have claimed that the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan cast members are yet to be paid their dues. The insider shared that the actors have requested an update on their pending remuneration but no information has been provided to them yet. They have also shared that the actors even promoted the movie as per contract, yet they have not received their pay.

A source told Indian Express, “Tiger Shroff too has not received his fees for the film. He has maintained his silence on the non-payment of his dues for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan but after learning that the crew and the support staff, who gave the film their all, have also not been paid, he wants the production house to clear the dues immediately.” The insider added that actors like Alaya F, Sonakshi Sinha and Manushi Chillar have also not been paid yet and no information has been given to them despite several inquiries. The source further mentioned, “None of these actors on the film have received their dues either. They completed their work on the film and even after requesting them a few times, there was no reply. They also promoted the film because they didn’t want to leave the film hanging, but there was no payment made.”
