On getting help from Tiger Shroff
My brother, Prasad, had worked on his father (actor) Jackie Shroff’s 1994 film, 1942: A Love Story, where he fractured his hand on the sets. Tab Jackie sir ne mere bhai ka operation karaya tha. Now, his son (Tiger) helped me. I was the focus puller on Heropanti. So he came forward to help me.
The production house owes Rs 31.78 lakh to over 250 set workers who worked on movies like “Mission Raniganj”, Tiger Shroff’s “Ganapath” (2023), and Akshay Kumar and Shroff’s “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” (2024), Tiwari added. Bhagnani remained unavailable for comment. In a complaint filed on March 19, 2023 to Indian Film & Television Director’s Association (IFTDA), Desai said he worked on “Mission Raniganj” from February 2022 to October 6, 2023 (the release date of the film) and the amount to be received as per the contract was Rs 4,03,50,000 and he has only received Rs 3,70,36,092 so far.
