Seeing my team and the crew I worked with struggle day in and out to just get hold of our own hard earned money has compelled me to make this post.

It said, “ While the Insta post of Vaishnavi says that actors have been paid, in reality none of the actors on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Jackky’s latest production in question- Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F, Prithviraj Sukumaran - have been paid. Much like the crew even the actors were promised payment after completion of the film, but the promise was not kept.”

Tiger gave a statement to Hindustan Times and said, “ I have nothing to say at the moment”. Ronit Roy, too, responded with “Nothing to say.”
