Balaji Motion Pictures has officially responded to recent reports and social media discussions surrounding alleged unpaid dues related to the film Bhooth Bangla. The production house released a formal statement on social media, firmly denying claims that vendors associated with the film had not received payments for their services.
Sharing the statement with the caption “Bhooth Bangla,” Balaji Motion Pictures clarified that all contractual payment obligations connected to the film have already been fulfilled. The company emphasized that there are no outstanding dues payable to any vendors engaged for the project and dismissed the circulating allegations as misleading.
The official note read, “With reference to various recent media reports and social media posts regarding certain allegations about unpaid dues by Balaji Telefilms Limited for the film Bhooth Bangla, this is to clarify that the Company has fulfilled all its contractual payment obligations for the film and there are no unpaid contractual dues nor is anything further due and payable to any vendors engaged by the company for this film for any services rendered by them.”
The statement further highlighted the company’s professional standards and long-standing reputation in the entertainment industry. Balaji Telefilms noted that it values all its partners, vendors, and creative collaborators while maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The production house also stressed that honoring contractual commitments remains one of its top priorities.
The clarification comes after multiple reports claimed that nearly Rs 48 lakh in payments linked to Bhooth Bangla were still pending despite the film’s impressive theatrical performance. Directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar, the comedy-horror entertainer has reportedly crossed the Rs 211 crore mark at the box office, making it one of the notable commercial successes of 2026.
As discussions continue online, Balaji Motion Pictures’ statement appears aimed at putting an end to the controversy and reassuring industry partners about the company’s payment practices. Meanwhile, fans of Bhooth Bangla continue celebrating the film’s successful run and its blend of comedy, horror, and nostalgia-driven entertainment.
