Someone is trying to malign my company's image: Producer Abhinav Shukla

Dynamic and dashing Producer Abhinav Shukla is furious today. And the cause of it is an article published in the tabloid Mid-Day. The write up states that his production company, Nautanki Films, has not paid the crew members of its ongoing show on Colors, Madhubala. The article also mentioned about cheques bouncing, creating more trouble for those working in the above show. All these allegations have not gone down well with Abhinav and he shared his anger with Tellychakkar.com and cleared the air on the entire controversy. “Someone has planted the story in Mid-Day. This is a blatant attempt to malign mine and my company’s image. We have been in the business since the last 25 years. Would we have survived had we resorted to such antics? Madhubala has been on air since the last two years and the same crew has been working throughout. Why would anyone work for such a long time if not paid on time? Media should verify facts before going ahead and publishing things. Mid-Day should have done better,” are the angry words of Abhinav. He continued: “Everyone is happy in the crew and Madhubala will have a very happy ending. One should understand that had there been any such issue, the channel and even the union guys would have intervened. Aisa to kuch nahin hua. So whoever has planted this story should be ready to face the consequences.” Next we spoke to the show’s lead Vivian Dsena who said, “There is no such concern. We have been paid on time. Sanjay Singh, the Head of Operations, said, “Everything that has been printed is a big lie. We are one big happy unit. Every crew member gets paid on time and we all are happy working with Nautanki Films.” Well, that settles it then. All’s well at the Madhubala camp.
