Amit Sadh quit Kai Po Che in a fit of rage because director Abhishek Kapoor was rude to him: ‘I had a violent temper'

While actor Amit Sadh's first movie, Kai Po Che (2013), wasn't a big-budget launch that many young actors dream of, he was praised for his talent and the movie is still remembered for having given Amit and his two co-stars, Rajkummar Rao and Sushant Singh Rajput, a grand introduction in mainstream Bollywood. In a new interview, the actor revealed that he'd actually quit the project on day one because he felt insulted by the way director Abhishek Kapoor spoke to him and his co-stars. Appearing on Cyrus Broacha's podcast Cyrus Says, Sadh said, 'I got Kai Po Che, and we went to the first reading. I think Gattoo (Abhishek Kapoor) got some bad news about a big female star leaving the film, and he was a bit… whatever. So I, Sushant and Rajkummar were reading, and I have an elder brother syndrome, and I am very protective about the people around me, and Gatoto comes up to us and says, 'What are you guys doing? There is no emotion in this.' I got really mad and told him that he couldn't talk to us like that.'

'I came back home that day, and I decided that I am not going to do this film because Gattoo was rude to us. They tried casting someone else, and it didn't work out. We bumped into each other a week later, and he asked me if I had other work or even a house or a car. I said no, and he said, 'Then why did you quit the film'?' The actor admitted that he was very sensitive early in his career, and it took him some time to get over anger issues. 'I had a very bad temper, and I was very violent. The one thing I am proud of is that I met the right people, and I read the right book, and I realised that anger was futile. I found the other way, which is communication.' The actor has talked about the film in the past as well, and said that after the movie'srelease, many people compared him to his co-stars, and what they were achieving in the industry. Amit Sadh was last seen in the film Pune Highway alongside Jim Sarbh, Rajit Kapoor, Shishir Sharmaa and Manjari Fadnnis.
