Well a group of junior artists claim that the producers are in due of Rs 10lakhs out of the Rs 15lakhs promised to them. According to a version, the junior artists demanded their payment on the sets yesterday (Aug 1) which eventually led to a verbal war and Manoj & one of the producer allegedly slapped them too.
