In January 2023, several reports claimed that Shailesh has been waiting for more than six months for his due payment. The actor decided to take legal support to claim his due payment from the makers. Shailesh reached out to National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and initiated a corporate insolvency resolution under section 9, as Asit Modi could not pay his debts. It was said that the court hearing was slated to be held in May, however, there has been no update on the same.
