The casting director claimed that he had been asking for the payments for years now and has yet to receive a positive response from the team. Tired of asking for his money, Chadha took to social media and revealed the 'dark reality of movie industry.' Parag shared that he and his team have reached 'limits' as they have been approaching Bhatt and team for years now and hence, he dropped the screenshots of their chats online. Fans are furious over this and are shaming Vikram, Krishna and the team over stopping payments of hard work for so long.

Vikram Bhatt Arrested

Last year in December, Vikram Bhatt and Shwetambari Bhatt were arrested by the Rajasthan Police from Mumbai and subsequently brought to Udaipur. They have remained in judicial custody since then.The case stems from a complaint filed by Ajay Murdia, founder of Indira IVF and Fertility Centre and a resident of Udaipur. In his complaint, Murdia accused Bhatt, his wife, and others of cheating and criminal breach of trust, alleging that funds amounting to Rs 30 crore were misappropriated under the pretext of film production. Along with the filmmaker and his wife, Udaipur-based Dinesh Kataria and Bhatt’s manager Mehboob Ansari were also arrested in connection with the case on December 7.
