But, we are trying our best and putting all efforts. We hope that no one from the cast and crew takes a drastic step to harm themselves. We are not completely aware of the situation between Jyoti Gupta, Sudhanshu Tripathi, Devyani Rale, and the channel.

Further, he added, 'We have been told that FWICE has taken up the issue with the actors, technicians and also the channel. The channel has eventually assured that they will clear the payments of technicians and actors directly, and will deal with the producers themselves.'
