They approached Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and lodged complaint against the filmmakers of not clearing their dues. They said the producers have been threatening when they asked them to clear the dues and said the producers should clear Rs 90 lakhs to light-men and Rs 20 lakhs to junior artists. They said Kamal did not attend their phone calls for the past three months and instead have been threatening not to clear their dues if they stop the work in the middle.

The workers alleged that they were served substandard food and were not given daily wages. They asked the producers to show concern to the problems of the junior artists and workers as they are living on daily wages. Now doubtful clouds are hovering around the release of Manikarnika on Jan 25, 2019 with all these controversies.
