The filmmaker compensates Rs 26 lakh to unpaid workers from the sets of 'Bol Bachchan'

Rohit Shetty has come to the aid of a group of labourers from the sets of his last release Bol Bachchan. The filmmaker has compensated the workers, who were refused a payment of Rs 26 lakh by the film's producers Ashtavinayak.

The company's account has been sealed due to an ongoing legal case.

Our source informs, `The labourers remained unpaid despite Bol Bachchan releasing weeks ago. When Rohit learnt about it, he immediately called them and handed over the amount on Friday night.

Incidentally, a majority of the workers needed the money as they wanted to celebrate upcoming festivals. They spoke to the producers but did not get any payment, as there is a case pending against the film from the film's financiers.`

Rohit Shetty and the production house remained unavailable for comments.
