As per a recent report, Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment was also unable to pay several stars of 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' their due salaries, including Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha and others.
Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani have been making headlines since reports about their production house, Pooja Entertainment, being under debt surfaced online. Over the years, Pooja Entertainment has provided the cine lover with several movies, but in the last few years, it failed to do so, and it led to a huge loss. However, it was also reported that the crew members of Pooja Entertainment were not paid their salaries. Now, another report stated that not only the crew but also the cast of the movie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, are yet to receive their salaries from Pooja Entertainment.
According to a recent report by The Indian Express, not only the crew but also the stars of the movie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan were not paid their due salaries. Tiger Shroff, Alaya F, Sonakshi Sinha, and Manushi Chillar were reportedly not paid their dues for working on the film. As per a source, Tiger Shroff has not received his fee, but he has kept mum on this matter. When Tiger got to learn that the crew was also not paid, he reportedly wanted the production house to clear the dues as soon as possible. The source can be quoted as saying:
"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.”

Apart from Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F, and Manushi Chillar also reportedly didn't receive their salaries. The source added that these actors had completed their work and even asked a couple of times for their dues, but there was no reply. According to the sources, the actors didn't even want to keep the project hanging, and for the same reason, they promoted the film, but the payment was not made. The source can be quoted as saying:
"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.”
It was in February 2024, when Jackky Bhagnani got married to actress, Rakul Preet Singh. However, despite his lavish wedding, it was reported that his production house was not able to pay its workers for two years and was in debt of Rs. 250 crore.

The production house reportedly didn't pay Akshay Kumar and also the director, for which they sent a legal notice. It was also stated that Bhagnanis had to sell off their Mumbai office to deal with this. However, Vashu Bhagnani later claimed that he had not sold his Mumbai office, but it still belonged to him.
