Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta accused of not clearing payments of ‘Jazbaa’ crew

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, who is busy working on his ongoing project ‘Kaabil’ with Hrithik Roshan, has been accused of not clearing the payments of his previous thriller flick ‘Jazbaa’. According to a report published in a daily, quite a few amongst the crew members are yet to receive their remuneration.

The list includes cinematographer Sameer Arya, writer Kamlesh Pandey, screenplay writer Robin Bhatt and more.

The report further states that the outstanding amount is around Rs 20 lakh. Sanjay, however, has assured all the concerned individuals that their payments would be cleared when Essel Vision (the producers of ‘Jazbaa’) sent him the payment across.

From Essel’s  version, they have transferred the money to Sanjay’s production house White Feather Films.

‘Jazbaa’, which also starred actor Irrfan Khan and actress Shabana Azmi, marked the big screen comeback of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film had an average grossing at the box office.
