Amit Sadh ‘got really mad' after director was rude to him, Rajkummar Rao, Sushant Singh on Kai Po Che set: I quit film
Actor Amit Sadh started his career with Kai Po Che. He was praised for his performance in the film and gained recognition in the industry. In a recent interview with Cyrus Broacha, Amit spoke about how he wanted to quit the film after just his first day on set, as the director was rude to him. (Also Read: Amit Sadh reacts to call for boycott on Pakistani artistes in India after Pahalgam attack: 'Country comes first' Amit recalled being very reactive and sensitive, and said, 'I got Kai Po Che and we went for the first reading. I think Gattoo (Abhishek Kapoor) had just received some bad news about an actress leaving the film, and he was a bit… whatever. So I, Sushant, and Rajkummar were reading, and I have an elder brother syndrome, a Godfather syndrome, and I'm very protective of the people around me. We were reading, and Gattoo must have been in a bad mood. He came up to us and said, 'What are you guys doing? There's no emotion in this.' I got really mad and asked him, 'How are you talking to us like that?' He said, 'This is how reading is done'.' He added, 'I came back home that day and said, 'I'm not going to do this film because Gattoo was rude to us,' and I quit the film. They tried casting someone else, and it didn't work out; they said, 'We want Amit back.' 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?'' He revealed that they later met and sorted out their differences. Amit also admitted that he used to have a very bad temper and was quite violent. Helmed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur under UTV Motion Pictures, the sports drama was adapted from Chetan Bhagat's 2008 novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life. The film also marked Sushant Singh Rajput's Bollywood debut and featured Rajkummar Rao in a lead role. It received acclaim from both critics and audiences and became a commercial success. Amit will next be seen in the movie Pune Highway. Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna, the film also stars Jim Sarbh, Anuvab Pal, Manjari Fadnis, Ketaki Narayan, and Sudeep Modak. It premiered at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in 2024 and is scheduled to release in cinemas on May 23.

Anurag Kashyap Slams Vivek Agnihotri For Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal Controversy: " Kitna Jhoota Hai Yeh Aadmi"
New Delhi: Anurag Kashyap is credited with some incredible films namely Gangs of Wasseypur, Black Friday, and Ugly, to name a few. However, things turned sour recently, when Vivek Agnihotri called Kashyap a drunkard and accused him of palming off work to Vikramaditya Motwane during the shooting of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, led by John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. For the unversed, Anurag Kashyap was one of the dialogue writers alongside Rohit Malhotra for the film, while the screenplay was written by Vikramaditya Motwane. Reacting to Vivek Agnihotri's strong allegations, Anurag Kashyap put up an Instagram story, writing, " Kitna jhootha hai ye aadmi. Shooting London mein hui thi (This man is such a liar. The shooting of the film took place in London). I was in India. He didn't want the script by Motwane or me. He wanted to make Lagaan of football and took his own writer to write that crappy script. Neither me nor @motwayne went on the set ever. Stop posturing @vivekagnihotri (sic)." Vikramaditya Motwane too re-shared the story. In a conversation with Digital Commentary, Vivek Agnihotri got candid about the chaos that had unfolded on the sets of Goal. The director said, "I have worked with him (Anurag Kashyap). We were doing the film Goal together. He was the writer of the film. Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra were supposed to do it, but Saif had some personal issues at the time, so he left. Then we got John and Bipasha. Anurag uss time bahut sharab peeta tha toh usko time ka koi hisaab nahi tha." He furthermore revealed that the creative direction of the film changed when Kashyap brought in Motwane. Agnihotri added, " Phir voh Vikramaditya Motwane ko le aaye, bola mera ek ladka hai, woh help karega. Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo bana na chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi bana na chah rahe the. Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag... Anurag ko handle karna mushkil ho gaya. Because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through. It became a very big problem." Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal had John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi, and Boman Irani in the lead. It was produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Vivek Agnihotri for UTV Motion Pictures.

Anurag Kashyap fires back at Vivek Agnihotri's claim that he was drunk, difficult to deal with: 'Jhootha hai ye aadmi'
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has fired back at fellow filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri after the latter claimed that Kashyap was a 'drunkard' who was difficult to deal with on the sets of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, a film on which they worked together. Anurag has called the statement a lie, presenting his side of the events. (Also read: Vivek Agnihotri says it became difficult to handle Anurag Kashyap on Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal set: 'Bahut sharab peeta tha') On Wednesday morning, Anurag shared a screengrab of a news report detailing Vivek's statement about him. The headline read: 'Anurag Kashyap was a drunkard who palmed off work to Vikram Motwane': Vivek Agnihotri says it became difficult to deal with the filmmaker. Anurag wrote below the screenshot, "Kitna jhootha hai ye aadmi. Shooting London me hui thi (This man is a liar. The shoot took place in London). I was in India. He didn't want the script by Motwane or me. He wanted to make the Lagaan of football and took his own writer to write that crappy script. Neither me, nor @motwayne went on the set ever." Anurag ended the note with a message to Vivek: 'Stop posturing @vivekagnohotri'. Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag's longtime associate, who was also named in his statement by Vivek, also shared Anurag's Instagram Story, adding his seal of approval to it. Earlier this week, in an interview with Digital Commentary, Vivek claimed Anurag's drinking habits during the making of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal made the working environment challenging. "Anurag uss time bahut sharab peeta tha toh usko time ka koi hisaab nahi tha (Anurag used to drink a lot at that time and had no sense of time). Phir voh Vikramaditya Motwane ko le aaye, bola mera RK ladka hai, vo help karega. Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo banana chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi banana chah rahe the (Then he brought Vikramaditya Motwane, saying 'he's my RK boy, he'll help out.' Gradually, all the work was handed over to Vikramaditya. What I wanted to make was different; their vision was entirely something else). Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag… Anurag ko handle karna mushkil ho gaya (It became difficult to handle Anurag). Because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through. It became a very big problem.' Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Vivek Agnihotri for UTV Motion Pictures, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal starred John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi, and Boman Irani. The sports drama, released in 2007, was only moderately successful at the box office.

Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo banana chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi banana chah rahe the."
