Why Tiger Shroff's Ganapath is making headlines? Here's what we know about Rs 3 lakh non-payment claim
Actor Faraz Khan, who featured prominently in Tiger Shroff's 2023 sci-fi action film Ganapath, has come forward with serious allegations against Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment. Faraz claims the production house has failed to pay his Rs 3 lakh dues for nearly two years, despite fulfilling his contractual obligations. The actor has now issued an ultimatum: pay up or face legal consequences and public exposure. Here's what Ganpath actor claimed Faraz Khan used Instagram to post a detailed statement about the matter. He explained that he was cast by Pooja Entertainment to portray the character Thabeel in the Hindi film Ganapath, directed by Vikas Bahl. He mentioned that he shared almost every scene with his co-actor Armaan Khera, who he described as his on-screen twin. Faraz also highlighted that while Armaan Khera, his counterpart has been fully compensated, he has yet to receive any payment owed to him. Faraz alleged that his multiple efforts to contact the company were met with evasive replies. He criticized the studio for failing to honor their obligations, stating that while the top-billed cast and crew had been paid, often with hefty fees, he, as a lesser-known actor, was deliberately overlooked and manipulated. He described this behavior as not only unprofessional but also disgraceful. Calling out what he described as systemic mistreatment, Faraz said, 'Let the industry and the public know how Pooja Entertainment treats its actors: with dishonesty, disrespect, and deliberate delay. I refuse to be silenced." He further warned that unless the studio clears his dues and issues a public apology, he will proceed with legal action, speak to the media, and go public across platforms to 'expose" the studio's conduct. 'Pay your people. Honour your contracts. Stop harassing independent artists," he concluded. Faraz's claims emerge amid growing concerns over Pooja Entertainment's financial stability. In 2024, it was reported that the production company, headed by Bhagnani, had incurred significant debts after the poor box office performance of expensive films such as Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan. Multiple crew members had earlier voiced comparable grievances about unpaid wages, with insiders revealing that only the main actors received their full payments.

Ganapath Actor Accuses Pooja Entertainment Of Non-Payment, Demands Rs 3 Lakh & Public Apology
Last Updated: Faraz Khan, who appeared in Tiger Shroff's 2023 film Ganapath, has accused Pooja Entertainment of failing to pay him ₹3 lakh for his role. Actor Faraz Khan, who featured prominently in Tiger Shroff's 2023 sci-fi action film Ganapath, has come forward with serious allegations against Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment. Faraz claims the production house has failed to pay his dues for nearly two years, despite fulfilling his contractual obligations. The actor has now issued an ultimatum—pay up or face legal consequences and public exposure. On Wednesday, Faraz took to Instagram to share a detailed statement addressing the situation. He wrote, 'My name is Faraz Khan. I was hired by Pooja Entertainment to play the role of Thabeel in the Hindi feature film Ganapath, directed by Vikas Bahl. My co-actor Armaan Khera and I shared nearly every scene, like on-screen twins. While he has been paid in full, I haven't received a single rupee of what I'm owed." Faraz claimed that his repeated attempts to get in touch with the company were met with misleading responses. He slammed the studio for neglecting their commitments, adding, 'All top-billed cast and crew members have been paid—many with exorbitant fees. But when it comes to compensating the so-called 'small guy' like me, they choose to ignore and manipulate. It's more than just unprofessional—it's disgraceful." Calling out what he described as systemic mistreatment, Faraz said, 'Let the industry and the public know how Pooja Entertainment treats its actors: with dishonesty, disrespect, and deliberate delay. I refuse to be silenced." He further warned that unless the studio clears his dues and issues a public apology, he will proceed with legal action, speak to the media, and go public across platforms to 'expose" the studio's conduct. 'Pay your people. Honour your contracts. Stop harassing independent artists," he concluded. Faraz's allegations come at a time when Pooja Entertainment has been under scrutiny for financial troubles. In 2024, reports surfaced that the Bhagnani-led production house had accumulated massive debt following the commercial failure of high-budget projects like Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan. Several crew members previously echoed similar complaints of unpaid dues, while insiders claimed that only the lead actors were paid in full. In a desperate bid to offset mounting liabilities, the Bhagnanis reportedly sold their lavish Juhu office in June 2024 to clear debts amounting to Rs 250 crore. First Published:
