The production house confirmed that approximately Rs 60 crore has been paid to daily wage workers over the past year, with around Rs 1 crore still pending from schedules in July.<\/p>\n<h2>Prabhas\u2019 The Raja Saab Makers On Pending Payments to Workers<\/h2>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">PMF addressed comments made by outsiders in a statement. \u201cPeople Media Factory has disbursed approximately Rs 60 crores over the past 12 months towards daily wage workers engaged in BTL\/production activities. In addition, around Rs 1 crore remains payable in relation to schedules worked during July. This amount of Rs 60 crore does not include monthly contract associates who are on monthly remuneration across various crafts, which accounts for an additional Rs 30 crores. These contract associates\u2019 payments are fully current. Furthermore, this figure excludes the remunerations of key technicians, artists, vendors, VFX teams, and location-related expenses,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">It continued, \u201cIt is therefore both inaccurate and inappropriate for unrelated individuals or self-proclaimed federation\/union leaders to make public statements regarding internal company payments. People Media Factory has no agreements or financial obligations with any federations\/unions and consequently holds no dues to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">PMF confirmed that the remaining Rs 1 crore will be paid directly into workers\u2019 bank accounts this week. \u201cThe delay has occurred due to the unavailability of workers over the past two weeks, due to the sudden strike, and as the next schedule did not commence. Taking into consideration the difficulties being faced by our persons who have worked for us, we have decided to make exception to the policy and make the payments this week,&#8221; PMF said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The production house also introduced a new system to prevent delays. \u201cTo ensure greater transparency and to eliminate past malpractices of routing payments through representatives, all payments will henceforth be made directly to workers into their bank accounts. PMF will not release funds to intermediaries under any circumstance,&#8221; the note added.<\/p>\n<h3>How Workers Can Claim Dues<\/h3>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Workers from the July schedule are requested to submit accurate bank details and complete the enrolment process. Payments will be disbursed within the same week after verification by Executive Producers. PMF expressed appreciation for cooperation and promised a smooth resumption of work.<\/p>\n<h4>Legal Trouble Behind the Scenes<\/h4>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The Raja Saab recently faced a legal complaint from Ivy Entertainment in Delhi High Court. The production company was accused of contractual breaches, including failing to complete and release the film on time, providing production updates, and disclosing fund utilisation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The Raja Saab is touted to be a horror-comedy, marking a genre break for Prabhas after having featured in action or fantasy dramas in the past few years. The film features a Haveli that\u2019s unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema. This grand set, spanning 41,256 sq ft, is officially the largest horror set ever constructed in India.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shreyanka-mugshot-2023-11-8ef8dd88a71f919244a2d2ecf14e4f84.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shreyanka-mazumdar-25843.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shreyanka Mazumdar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shreyanka Mazumdar is Chief Sub Editor of the entertainment team at News18.
