Bhooth Bangla Makers REACT To Unpaid Due Claims Amid Horror Comedy’s Success

According to a Mid-day report, several vendors associated with the film have alleged that their payments are still pending despite the film’s theatrical success. In the report, one vendor claimed that the makers owe him close to Rs 30 lakh in fees. It stated, “Payments are getting stuck for months. Once the film releases, it becomes difficult to get the money out. The 90-day invoice clearance has become a thing of the past.” Another member claimed that he has been waiting months to be paid their fee of Rs 18 lakh.

Additionally, the report also claimed that writer Pranjal Kriplani has apparently sent producers Alok Kumar Chaubey and Sanjay Gupta a legal notice, accusing them of failing to clear dues of Rs 50,000 owed to him. The makers of the film have now responded to the allegations, firmly denying any wrongdoing. Balaji Motion Pictures, which has backed the film, stated that it has duly cleared and fulfilled all its contractual payment obligations.

“Balaji Telefilms Limited has fulfilled all its contractual payment obligations in relation to various projects undertaken by the company,” said the production house in a statement to Mid-Day.
