J P Dutta’s Paltan which released last year in September didn’t do well at the box office. However, now online portal SpotBoye claims that the production house has to still clear the dues of some actors and crew members of the film.
Gurmeet Choudhary, Siddhant Kapoor and Luv Sinha and some technicians are few members who have still not received the full payment.
According to SpotBoye, a source who is close to the production house said, “It has been almost 6 months that the film released— but the producers have not cleared the dues of few actors and even some daily-wage workers. JP Dutta’s daughter Nidhhi had promised to mend the situation as soon as possible but she has not fulfilled her commitment. Whenever we knock at her door, she requests us to come next time and delays the payment.”
Adds the source, “Zee Studios, who were involved in the film, have already paid the amount which they had to pay to J P Dutta. So, it is Dutta who has to now pay. But Nidhhi is just not interested in finishing off the issue. On the contrary, she and her mother Bindiya Goswami has blocked Team Paltan almost everywhere so that they don’t get to know of their whereabouts.”
However, when the portal contacted Niddhi she said, “This is not true. As per the agreement, everyone has been paid their dues.”
But Gurmeet told the portal that, “My staff and I haven’t received our payments.”
The report also mentions that actors Siddhant Kapoor and Luv Sinha have also not received their payment. However, the actors refused to confirm about it.
