Vikram Bhatt, a renowned filmmaker, continues to be embroiled in controversies, recently making headlines for alleged payment disputes connected to his films. Just days after being released on bail from a cheating case, new allegations have surfaced, stating that Bhatt has failed to clear payments for the crew of his earlier film '1920: Horse of the Heart'. More concerning is the revelation regarding his upcoming project 'Toys', where both the crew and the lead actress, Anupriya Goenka, have claimed they have not received their payments.

The film 'Toys', announced in 2022 alongside Bhatt's mentor Mahesh Bhatt, was positioned to compete with international projects. However, reports indicate that despite the completion of filming, Bhatt has not compensated several crew members. This raises significant questions about Bhatt's management and financial responsibilities as a filmmaker, especially after his legal woes. Such situations can severely affect the morale and financial stability of the crew members involved in the project.

The situation highlights ongoing issues within the Bollywood film industry concerning contract fulfillment and financial ethics, especially for individuals in positions of power like Bhatt. The lack of payment to the lead actress and crew not only damages professional relationships but could also lead to greater scrutiny of Bhatt's future projects and reputation. Many industry insiders are voicing concern over these payment issues, suggesting it could create a ripple effect within the industry regarding how filmmakers are held accountable for their financial obligations.
