On Tuesday, director Srijit Roy went live on Facebook to share his ordeal. He alleged that he had not received any formal communication from the federation about any wrongdoing.

The building of a set for an upcoming serial at Dassani studio was stopped midway from Monday as no technicians showed up, alleged Roy.

The directors' guild met on Wednesday and gave the federation time till 7pm on Thursday to resolve the issue.

Around 10.30pm on Thursday, Subrata Sen, president of the guild, told The Telegraph: "We are not calling this a cease-work. We, directors, are feeling insecure and redundant. The federation is stalling our projects without any prior intimation. If we are not needed, we will not go to the floors from Friday. This will continue till our demands are met," he said.
