It isn't every Film Producer who is dodgy, of course it isn't. But it can feel that way for some unfortunates who find themselves unable to escape the small street corners of the industry where the dodgy geezers and sharp practice merchants hang around. Bouncing from one charlatan to another, it would be easy to fall out of love with an industry where these chancers are happy to take a freelancer's hard work but less happy to part with the requisite wage for their time.

And it seems another of these chancers has emerged, a Bollywood Producer based in London by name of Vipul Sharma.

Sharma runs a company called "Blue Bling Productions" (when he is not also being a “Bussines man owner of spar supermarket London"). Of late, he has also been crafting a film called "Puppy Love", directed by one Hari Santhosh. This is a movie which has so far failed even to make the nether regions of IMDB so the chances of it troubling the scorers at the Academy Awards are pretty slim, however a production it is and workers it had. Workers who haven't been paid.

When asked why he was not paying the freelancers who worked for him, Sharma proved to be somewhat mute. A warning then to anyone who may be offered work on anything this individual might seek to put together in the future.

"Puppy Love" is apparently a "comedy romance". Given its record of stiffing freelancers, it seems no-one is laughing now.

Producer Vipul Sharma: Freelancers AVOID!

**EDIT 11th April 2023**

It took six months but, after a considerable amount of pressure, the freelancer in question finally got paid. Worth bearing in mind if you are contemplating working for or with this individual.
