Vice Chairman of Allied Mazdoor Union, Prem Singh Thakur said, "This money was meant for those who worked on the sets of Bol Bachchan. What to do? The payment due to them amounts to Rs 24,55,654. But we don't get convincing answers from them."
"This is a really sad story. Bol Bachchan is supposed to have earned around Rs 100 crore. So why are they not shelling out what is a miniscule amount from the astronomical sum they've earned? These workers were appointed on daily wages. Eid is round the corner and most of them are Muslims. Should they not celebrate?" he added.
Sources added that Thakur praised Rohit Shetty that he was the only person who helps us in getting the money.
