Singham gets into Trouble!

Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Singham’ has gotten into trouble when Cine Association Workers stopped the shooting of the film on the issue of non-payment of wages amounting to 45 Lakhs.

The FWICE members have demanded the payment from the producer (Reliance) to let the filming of Rohit Shetty’s Singham to continue.

Prem Singh Thakur, chairperson, vigilance department, FWICE told Mid-Day, “We stopped filming until the workers are paid. The producers (Reliance) owe the workers over R 45 lakh. It is a small amount for the producers, but a substantial amount in wages for the workers.”

Sanjeev Lamba, CEO, Reliance Big Pictures, admits there is a payment issue. “But our last schedule ended some time ago. The shooting was not stopped.”

But he adds, “There was a confusion over the payment between the workers and the art director. We’ve now cleared the misunderstanding and also a large sum of the due money.”
