Payment issue interrupts Bengali TV show Rani Rashmoni’s shoot once again

The shooting of period drama ‘

Rani Rashmoni

’ reportedly got interrupted since Thursday morning after vendors protested against their payment dues. Sources suggest that the project was handed over to a leading production house.

“The show has been handed over two days back. We thought that things will be smoother. Since Thursday morning, we couldn't shoot after the vendors refused to work. If such issues persists, the show might have to end its journey abruptly. Ironically, we scored quite well on the

TRP

charts and bagged the 2nd spot. It is really disheartening news for all of us,” said a crew member on the condition of anonymity.

A meeting between the aggrieved parties, channel and the producer is scheduled on Thursday (September 19) evening to sort out the issue.

The shoot of period drama ‘Rani Rashmoni’ and ‘Debi Chowdhurani’ got interrupted several times in the past due to the huge payment dues from the producer’s side. A number of actors, technicians and vendors are reportedly yet to receive their payments. Both the channels running the shows couldn’t air fresh episodes due to lack of freshly shot episodes.
