One crew member even urged people to not work with Pooja Entertainment that is owned by Jackky Bhagnani and his father, Vashu Bhagnani.

Bollywood actor Jackky Bhagnani’s production house named Pooja Entertainment has found itself a bit of trouble after several crew members came out and disclosed that the production house has not been clearing their salaries on time. A person called Pooja Entertainment’s behaviour “unethical” that they have been “tolerating for way too long.”


Some members of the production house took to their social media accounts to reveal that they have not been paid in a long time.

One crew member, Ruchita Kamble, took to her Instagram handle and wrote a long message about the “unprofessional” behaviour of the production house and even urged people to not work with Pooja Entertainment that is owned by Jackky Bhagnani and his father, Vashu Bhagnani.

She wrote, “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”.

“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. PS – 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,” she added.

One more person came forward and without mentioning the production house by name, commented, “I did a movie 2 years ago with a very well known production house. Me along with at least 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?”
