Ram Leela shoot disrupted

20 Dec 2012

Post Guzaarish , Sanjay Leela Bhansali was focusing heavily on production. However, the filmmaker got back to direction with Ram Leela starring Ranveer and Deepika. The film which has been in the making for past few weeks however ran into trouble on Sunday.

The shoot of the film was disrupted on Sunday. This came after members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) landed up on the set with complaints of non-payment of workers' dues.

According to Prem Singh Thakur from FWICE's vigilance department, the payment of the workers had apparently been pending for quite a while, with numerous complaints being lodged for the same. Apparently, Thakur went on the sets and discussed the matter with Bhansali. Bhansali and his production manager then assured Thakur that the dues will be cleared and the shoot resumed.

Reportedly, Bhansali's office has given in writing to FWICE that all pending payments would be cleared in a week.

Ram Leela being produced under the banner of SLB Films also stars Richa Chadda, Abhimanyu Shekhar Singh, and Shweta Salve and is slated for release later next year.
