If there are people who claim that we owe them money, they should come forward and talk to us. Do they have proper contracts with Pooja Entertainment? Have they filed a case regarding this? There are so many ways to sort this rather than ranting on social media. If there is an issue, we will resolve it. Nobody is running away. Please come to my office, talk to us, give us your documents, and give us 60 days to figure things out. I am not going to buckle under any pressure or blackmail. We also work with production companies in the UK. If they owe someone money, then people should reach out to them directly.”
In conclusion, Vashuji shares that he is also into other businesses, but is most passionate about movie-making, so he will continue to do that. He says, “I love Bollywood and films. Bollywood is my jaan, this is the most emotional industry and people stick by you through thick and thin.”
