For the uninitiated, there is one rule in B’wood which if broken, can cost one dearly. No one messes with the Khans, especially Salman Khan. The man paying the price this time is the producer of the 2010 historic drama ‘Veer’ which starred Salman. According to reports, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has banned ‘Veer’s producer Vijay Galani from producing any movies until he pays Salman his remaining dues for the film.
The complaint had been lodged with FWICE by Salman himself who had allegedly not been paid dues amounting to Rs. 12 crore. Although the big budget movie ‘Veer’ starred Salman and was hyped for its leading actress Zarine Khan who shared an uncanny resemblance with Katrina Kaif, it failed to create any impression at the BO.
But it seems Salman was more upset about not getting his dues than the movie’s failure. The actor, sources say, had contacted Vijay several times to settle the issue amicably but nothing worked out. It was then that Salman took up the issue with the Union and asked for a meeting with the producer.
When the FWICE was approached for comments they confirmed the issue and said that they wanted the issue to have a resolution soon. We all know how ugly things turned out for Vivek Oberoi when he went public with his war against Salman.
Hopefully Vijay Gilani hasn’t forgotten that lesson and will pay up Salman soon!
