Raaj Shaandilyaa’s Claims of Intimidation
Raaj Shaandilyaa was set to begin Bhagam Bhag 2 with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Producer Ektaa Kapoor was attached to the project, and the shoot was set to start soon. Raaj had signed a three-film contract with Ektaa in 2019, but the director later opted out, prompting Ektaa to issue a legal notice. Raaj has now shared his statement in a report on Variety India, stating that there has been an attempt to intimidate him and that he felt mistrusted.
Meanwhile, the report stated that Raaj felt uneasy with the nature of communication with the production house. The director had already finished the script of his third film Sonam Bewafa Hai but recent communication from the production house led him to feel that the inquiries were intrusive and mistrustful.
Legal Notice Over Bhagam Bhag 2 Delay
Last month, Paresh Rawal had confirmed Govinda’s exit and said that Manoj Bajpayee has joined Bhagam Bhag 2 as one of the leads.
Manoj Bajpayee Joins the Bhagam Bhag Sequel
