He said in an interview with the national media, “It’s a work in progress. We’ll start shooting for the film in February-March next year.” The actor revealed that he had genuine reasons to leave the film earlier, and he also returned his signing amount with interest. But all’s well now. When asked if this whole incident affected his equation with director Priyadarshan, with whom he has collaborated on several projects.
The actor said, “A lot has happened, but that hasn’t soured my relationship with Priyadarshan.
Aise rishta kharab nahi hota hai. In fact, what has happened is that it has further solidified our equation. Through all of this, we now know each other in a sharper and better way. Ghaav bhar gaya hai. Our relationship is very transparent.”
Rawal’s character in Hera Pheri, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, is iconic, and when he announced his exit, fans were disappointed. When asked if they have ever thought of a spin-off for his character Baburao, the actor said, “We (Priyadarshan and I) haven’t discussed a spin-off on Baburao. A film is a collaborative effort.
