A source close to the production house revealed to Spotboye, “It has been almost six months that the film released -- but the producers have not cleared the dues of few actors and even some daily-wage workers. J.P. Dutta’s daughter Nidhhi had promised to mend the situation as soon as possible but she has not fulfilled her commitment. Whenever we knock at her door, she requests us to come next time and delays the payment.”
Paltan received average reviews from the audience and neither did it shine at the ticket windows. With regards to the payment the source also mentioned, “Zee Studios, who were involved in the film, have already paid the amount which they had to pay to J.P. Dutta. So, it is Dutta who has to now pay. But Nidhhi is just not interested in finishing off the issue. On the contrary, she and her mother Bindiya Goswami has blocked team Paltan almost everywhere so that they don’t get to know of their whereabouts.” Debina Bonnerjee Shares a Loved-Up Post for Hubby Gurmeet Choudhary on His 35th Birthday – See Pics.
