Why Tiger Shroff’s Ganapath is making headlines? Here’s what we know about Rs 3 lakh non-payment claim

by

Actor Faraz Khan, known for his role in Tiger Shroff’s 2023 sci-fi action film Ganapath, is speaking out against Pooja Entertainment, run by Vashu Bhagnani, with severe accusations. He alleges that the production house has neglected to pay him an owed sum of approximately Rs 3 lakhs for almost two years, despite his adherence to all contractual agreements. The actor has set a deadline: either settle the debt or face potential lawsuits and public disclosure.

Here’s what the Ganapath actor claimed

Faraz Khan shared a comprehensive update on Instagram regarding his role. He clarified that he got selected by Pooja Entertainment for the character Thabeel in the upcoming Hindi movie “Ganapath,” which is helmed by Vikas Bahl.

In the discussion, it was brought up that Faraz frequently appeared alongside co-actor Armaan Khera in almost every scene, whom he referred to as his on-screen doppelganger. Moreover, Faraz emphasized that while Armaan Khera, his counterpart, has been fairly compensated, he himself has yet to receive the payment that is due to him.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself in a situation where my repeated attempts to reach out to a company were met with elusive responses. I can’t help but express my disappointment over the studio’s failure to uphold their commitments. While the main actors and crew members were handsomely compensated for their roles, I, as a less prominent figure, was seemingly sidelined and manipulated intentionally. I find this conduct not only unprofessional, but also shameful.

Speaking openly about what he terms as systemic unfairness, Faraz stated, “It’s important for both the industry and the public to understand how Pooja Entertainment handles its actors: with deceit, disregard, and intentional delay. I won’t stay quiet about this issue.

He additionally cautioned that if the studio doesn’t settle his debts and offer a public apology, he will take legal steps, talk to the media, and share information publicly to “reveal” the studio’s behavior. In conclusion, he said, “Pay your employees, uphold your agreements, stop intimidating independent artists.

In light of mounting worries about Pooja Entertainment’s financial health, assertions made by Faraz have come to the forefront. Back in 2024, news broke out that the movie production firm, run by Bhagnani, had accumulated substantial debts due to the underperformance at the box office of costly films like Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan.

As a devoted follower, I’ve observed that several team members have previously expressed similar concerns over delayed or missing wages. Interestingly, it’s been hinted that only the principal cast members received their complete remuneration.
