Workers halt work on Vivek Oberoi and Suniel Shetty’s OTT show due to unpaid wages

Nearly 300 daily wage workers have halted work on OTT show 'Dharavi Bank' following unpaid dues of almost a month.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) says the workers were building the set of the Zee Studios backed series Dharavi Bank, starring Vivek Oberoi and Suniel Shetty, at the film city in suburban Goregaon.

Work came to a halt on Tuesday afternoon, since more than Rs 50 lakhs in unpaid wages are yet to be cleared by the production house.

Zee Studios in a statement has said, there is "no question of payment delays". The statement added, the fact is that there wasn’t any discipline of documentation from the crew employed. Zee says the payouts aren't held up due to any wilful delay.
