The failure of Kaanchi seems to have really struck hard on Director Subhash Ghai’s fortunes. The buzz in B-Town is that the director who has not scored a hit at the box office for more than a decade is yet to pay some of the technicians who worked on his last film, Kaanchi!
Apparently one of the unpaid technicians Gulab Rao who had provided the special effects machines to the unit has revealed that though the crew used his machines for over a month, his dues amounting to Rs. 1.5 Lakhs has not been cleared till now and the box office failure of Kaanchi is being cited as the reason for non-payment! Rao also confessed that he is so tired of doing the rounds of Ghai’s office that he has actually stopped pursuing the matter!
When contacted for his side of the story, Ghai clarified that ‘while all the prime artistes and technicians have been paid, the bills in question must be pending due to company procedure.’
Now nowMrGhai, one did not expect such callous attitude from a senior and respected person such as you!
