A crew member named Ruchita Kamble took to her Instagram handle on Friday (June 21) and penned a long note speaking up on the issue. She wrote, "Not the one to ever make such posts, but sometimes people need to be ousted! Seeing my team and the crew I worked with struggle day in and out to just get hold of our own hard earned money has compelled me to make this post. Read the sheer frustration of these young girls who have beautifully stated the absolute disregard @pooja_ent has and the sheer unprofessional, unethical behaviour that we all have been tolerating for way too long."

She added, "Being dodged from one person to another just to ask for our own money, which was promised to be cleared within 45-60 working days post completion, which in itself is also unprofessional, but the crew graciously agreed as we're a bunch driven by a passion for filmmaking. But to exploit this passion to such an extent should not be acceptable. There is no hope of getting paid but this post is to make the countless others aware of this fraudulent practices by @pooja_ent @jackkybhagnani @vashubhagnani and vouch to not work with them."
