Priyadarshan makes shocking statement on Paresh Rawal's exit from 'Hera Pheri 3': 'I don't care whether it's made or not, Paresh messaged me saying...'
As Paresh Rawal quits Hera Pheri 3, the actor has clarified on Twitter there are no 'creative differences' with the makers.

But now, a viral post of a crew member on this film has shared a long note that possibly hints at the makers' unprofessionalism. Was that the reason why Rawal quit? Only time will tell.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Priyadarshan, the man himself has made some shocking statements on the fiasco.
The director said, 'I don't care whether it's made or not. I was doing it for Akshay. I really don't want to work anymore. I have some commitments to fulfil. I've just completed Bhoot Bungla with Akshay, and I have a film with Akshay and Saif that I am committed to direct. Beyond that, I don't need this kind of tension. I would rather play with my grandchild than make movies with unprofessional actors.'
He also said, 'Paresh indicated nothing. When I heard about his decision, I messaged him to ask what happened. He replied saying I shouldn't try to call him because he didn't want to talk about it, and that he does not want to disrespect me. Is this how you show respect? Subhash, I am very, very hurt. There are two actors I've worked with the most: Mohanlal and Paresh Rawal. In Hindi, I don't think there's any actor I've worked with as extensively as Paresh. Every time I wrote a script in Hindi; I would find a proper place for Paresh.'
He added, 'I'm in my village right now, peacefully spending time with my relatives, watching the sky. The last thing I need is this kind of tension. I don't care for the stress of filmmaking anymore. I would be happy to retire right now. I've done enough work. I no longer feel excited about filmmaking.'

War 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's action-thriller beats Rajinikanth's Coolie, earns Rs...
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani's high-octane action film finally made it to the big screens on August 14. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, the film had a decent double-digit opening. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, War 2 day 1 box office collection stood at Rs 51 crore. Following day 1, War 2 box office collection day 2 has been released, and the movie witnessed good growth and earned Rs 56 crore. War 2 Box Office Collection After opening on a modest note with around Rs 29 crore in the Hindi belt net on day one, War 2 witnessed a remarkable recovery in its Hindi version. Benefiting from the Independence Day holiday, the film registered a sharp 50 per cent jump in earnings on day two. With day 2's collection, War 2 total box office collection as of now stands at Rs 108 crore. Despite lukewarm reviews from critics and a mixed response from audiences online, the film's second-day performance has been highly impressive. Trade sources believe that the film can witness a good hike over the weekend, but 'if the movie manages to hold collection in the same range with marginal growth, it will give it a chance to perform during the weekdays, which needs to be seen.' War 2 vs Coolie The two massy action films — War 2 and Coolie — were released on the same date, and both have also entered the Rs 100 crore club. Since both films have the finest actors in them, it will be interesting to see who earns more compared to the other one. War 2 Movie Review War 2 movie review by reads, 'The plot of War 2 is painfully predictable, the VFX are subpar, and the dialogues often border on cringeworthy. Hrithik's much-hyped mass entry and a few well-executed action scenes are the only moments worth noting.'
