Pooja Entertainment, Vashu Bhagnani and his son Jackky Bhagnani's home banner, is going through a major crisis right now. The employees working for the company have been calling out their boss for lack of payment of salaries and other dues. There have been reports that even actors have not been paid their dues, which even includes major stars like Akshay Kumar. Some of the employees took to Insta to call out the double standards of the producers, who claim they are short of funds but still have money to have lavish wedding ceremonies (Jackky had married actress Rakul Preet in February 2024) and go for exotic vacations.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Vashu Bhagnani슬롯사이트™s Pooja Entertainment in Financial Trouble?

Their last film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was made on a huge budget but was a major failure at the box office. Some reports are blaming Akshay Kumar, who has delivered back-to-back duds with the banner, as the reason for their financial decline. However, that's not entirely true. If you just look back at the films produced by Pooja Entertainment over the years and see their box office performances, you will be shocked to learn that the dwindling returns are not just restricted to Akshay; in fact, you would also be wondering how the banner has sustained itself over the years, especially when you realise when they had delivered their last major hit and with whom.

When Vashu Bhagnani began producing films in the '90s, Lady Luck was smiling at him in terms of the box office. It was an era when Govinda-David Dhawan combo meant gold at the box office, and Pooja Entertainment, then Pooja Films, benefitted from that with the successes of Coolie No 1 and Hero No 1. In fact, the five films that the banner made in the '90s were all hits.

But the advent of the 21st century brought trouble for the banner when it earned its first commercial flop with Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa in 2000. From thereon, Pooja Entertainment made about 30 odd Hindi theatrical runs, but it슬롯 머신 사이트 추천only scored one hit and one average grosser.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Box Office Hit or Flop: Akshay Kumar-Tiger Shroff's Film is Turning Out to be Colossal Disappointment - Here's Why.

As you can see from the above, Bhagnanis' last proper hit as a producer was Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai in 2001! Ignoring the fact that it was Tusshar Kapoor's debut film that gave them their last money-spinner at the box office, 'nepotism' hasn't always worked for the banner. Abhishek Bachchan, when he was going through a spate of flops early in his career, gave the banner their first flop in Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa. Riteish Deshmukh, before he endeared himself to the audience with films like Masti and Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, also gave a flop as the main lead in Out of Control.

Even Jackky Bhagnani's acting aspirations didn't turn into box office respite for the banner, with films like슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Kal Kissne Dekha,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Ajab Gazabb Love,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rangrezz,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Youngistaan,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Welcome 2 Karachi,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Carbon all flopping at the box office. However, his F.A.L.T.U. was an average grosser.

Even when the banner worked with superstars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and even Govinda, that didn't change their luck. So it is definitely an interesting mystery of how Bhagnanis have sustained themselves over the years despite having delivered their last big hit in 2001.
