Delaying payments for years is common malpractice in Pakistan’s contemporary cinema. Yet even central characters in movies face this dilemma as Sonya Hussyn dished out the dirt on Tich Button.

Over the years several production houses that work on drama and film have been called out for not paying people on time. The most prominent being when several artists came out against Javeria and Saud. With payments for some artists not having been cleared a decade later.
