Bhooth Bangla, a horror-comedy film backed by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures, has reportedly grossed over ₹211 crore worldwide since its release on April 17. However, vendors associated with the film have raised concerns over unpaid dues totaling ₹48 lakh, with one vendor claiming ₹30 lakh remains unpaid and another alleging ₹18 lakh is still owed. These allegations highlight a growing trend in the film industry where delayed payments have become common, making it increasingly difficult for vendors to recover their dues post-release. Balaji Motion Pictures has responded to the claims, stating that it has met all contractual payment obligations. The issue of unpaid dues has also been noted in connection with other productions, such as Tu Yaa Main and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, where crew members have faced financial hardships due to similar delays. The conversation around this topic raises concerns about the industry's payment practices and the impact on those involved in film production.
