Paresh Rawal Gets Sued By Akshay Kumar
In a recent report by Hindustan Times, it was revealed that Akshay Kumar’s Cape Good Films had sent Paresh Rawal a legal notice after he publicly quit the movie. This comes after he had legally signed a contract to start the shooting of the film. But instead of starting the shoot, Paresh Rawal decided to leave the movie after not feeling like being a part of it. As soon as the news went public, fans were really disappointed. It was also reported that Paresh Rawal did not leave the movie over creative differences or money, as he was being paid thrice his usual rate.
It is important to note that Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty had already commenced the shoot of the movie along with Priyadarshan in April earlier this year. For the unversed, Akshay Kumar had legally bought the rights of the movie from Feroz Nadiadwala. According to the report, the source close to the matter revealed that Paresh Rawal displayed a blatant disregard for professional integrity or commercial morality. It also said that if he did not want to do the film, he should have said so before signing the legal contract, accepting the signing amount and making the producer spend so much money on the shoot.
For the unversed, Paresh Rawal has previously also walked out on films like Oh My God 2, Billu Barber and more.
