On Wednesday, February 11, Vineet posted something from the Parde Ke Peeche News page. The article claims that, based on sources, the producer of Dashami Productions, the company behind the show Shirdi Wale Sai Baba, which premiered on April 21, 2025, has failed to settle payments with the full cast, including lead actor Vineet Raina, the director, the cinematographer, the technicians, and the crew.
