Director Rajkumar Santoshi found himself in trouble after he failed to pay the dues to his crew for a film he has been making - Gandhi Vs Godse. The workers of the film raised anti-slogans against him.

Rajkumar Santoshi, who has given us hits like Andaz Apna Apna, Ghayal, Damini, Pukar and Lajja, is now in trouble. There were recently some slogans raised against him after he failed to pay his crew for a film he has been making - Gandhi Vs Godse. According to reports, they took to the streets to raise anti-slogans against Rajkumar Santoshi.

According to The Times Of India, some workers of the film Gandhi Vs Godse protested against the director with anti-Rajkumar Santoshi posters in hand. The issue later reached FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), whose General Secretary Ashok Dubey said, "We have had meetings with Santoshi and he has said that he will pay up. We got the complaint from the workers themselves."

Dubey added, "It is possible that the anti-Rajkumar Santoshi posters are being done by some antisocial elements because the workers have been informed that Santoshi will complete paying their dues in a few days time."

Set between 1947 and 1948, Gandhi Vs Godse is based on Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophies that are relevant even today. The film is almost complete. The period drama is based on noted writer Asghar Wajahat’s play. It revolves around cultural assimilation, communal issues, democracy and development, which is set in a fictional world where Mahatma Gandhi survives the January 30, 1948 attack by Nathuram Godse. The play sees him in conversation with Godse, who is held in prison.
