Sajid Khan and Stoneman Murders director Manish Gupta had an ugly spat at the MAMI forum in Chandan Cinema on Sunday afternoon. Manish Gupta Talking to Mumbai Mirror, Manish says, "Yes, Sajid and I had a war of words. I didn't like what he said about scriptwriters in our country." What exactly did Sajid say? Alleges Manish, "Sajid said that we don't have good scriptwriters in India, which is why Indian filmmakers tend to copy Hollywood films." Manish says that he retaliated. "I told him that there is no lack of courage in Indian writers. It is just that directors in India don't treat writers very well and even underpay them, which is why many writers like Abbas Tyrewala, Anurag Kashyap, Aneez Bazmee, Rumi Jaffrey, Milap Zaveri, Sanjay Chhel and Manoj Tyagi move on to become directors." Manish further alleged, "What Sajid said to that, he shook me up very badly. He said that all the names that I have quoted are directors who know nothing about what the audience wants, whose films have flopped, and who have consequently gone back to writing." The argument then got uglier and the mike had to be taken away from Manish. "Yes, I was very upset and angry," said he. While a friend of Sajid said, "It was a forum and there are bound to be discussions," Sajid himself remained unavailable for comment. He must have been renting the latest Hollywood DVD.

Can't expect much from Sajid anyway, I dislike him very much so!

What else to expect from this guy. Does he have any script in his movie?? NO.

All he needs is Akshay jumping around and the heroines prancing around in bikinis.
