While on one hand Akshay Khanna is enjoying the super success of Dhurandhar, on the other hand he is surrounded in controversies. In fact, ‘Drishyam 3’ producer Kumar Mangat has accused him of suddenly leaving the film a few days before the shooting started. He also claimed that Akshay had taken advance payment before leaving the film. He told that he supported Akshay during the shooting of ‘Section 375’, when no one else was ready to support him. Now ‘Section 375’ writer Manish Gupta is also angry at Akshay Khanna.
,Section 375′ K writer’s anger on Akshay Khanna
Manish told Bollywood Hungama, “In 2017, Akshay had signed my film ‘Section 375’, in which I was the director-writer and Kumar Mangat was the producer. His fee was fixed at Rs 2 crore. He took Rs 21 lakh in advance and signed the contract with us. But suddenly he gave his scheduled dates to another film ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ and went to London to shoot that film, due to which I and my team were away for six months. Sitting idle!”
Manish further said, “Then, after the shooting of that film was completed, Akshay came back and started demanding Rs 3.25 crore instead of Rs 2 crore as stipulated in the contract. In this way, he violated the contract. These unfair demands of Akshay did not end here. He wanted to have complete control over the film and wanted to get everything done in his own way. But I am not a director who bows down to the whims of any actor. I protested against this unfair behavior of Akshay. Did. But sadly, most of the directors in Bollywood bow down to every wish of the actors.”
Because of Akshay Khanna the director’s chair was snatched away
Manish said, “Taking orders from a dictatorial director like me was hurting Akshay’s ego, so he started pressurizing producer Kumar Mangat to remove me from the director’s post of the film and give him (Akshay) complete control of the film. Instead of curbing the actor’s inappropriate behavior, producer Kumar Mangat made me a scapegoat and removed me from the director’s post, along with my fully written script and three years of hard work on the pre-production. Hard drive also confiscated.”
Now Kumar Mangat is bearing the brunt of Akshay’s bad behavior.
Manish further added, “I had warned Akshay that I would drag him to court, and I had sent two legal notices to producer Kumar Mangat. My lawyers, Naik Naik & Co., were filing a case against both of them in the Bombay High Court, but Kumar Mangat immediately settled with me out of court. The irony today is that producer Kumar Mangat is bearing the brunt of Akshay’s unethical behavior in the Ajay Devgan starrer Drishyam 3. If so, then Mangat has taken legal action against Akshay.”
