Durgesh Kumar did not get the outstanding money for these films

To this, Durgesh Kumar replied, ‘Yes, this has happened many times. Let me tell you, people who pay the right amount are very few. Till date, I have not received Rs 12,000 for ‘Bahan Hogi Teri’. I had scenes with Abhishek Bachchan in ‘The Big Bull’ and Rs 8,000 is still due to him/her. I worked in an independent film called ‘Sisters’, and the cheque for Rs 50,000 has not yet arrived.

But I have taken a firm decision and that is that I will not settle for less than what I deserve. If the work is in line with my values, I am ready to put in extra effort. I have been in Mumbai for 12 years. Everyone knows my dedication. It is wrong to think that when I have honed my talent for 12 years, I will settle for Rs 10-20 thousand. Respect and fair salary should go hand in hand.’
