Bhoot Unkle: Director's nightmare

Children's flick, Bhoot Unkle, has turned into a nightmare for director Neeraj Pathak. The film is 90 percent complete but for the whatever little left of the film, some creative differences cropped up between Pathak and producer Sumeet Saigal. The director refused to undertake the changes required by the producer and opted out of the film. "With three days of shooting left for the movie the producers were very adamant about the changes. I told them to replace me if they wanted the changes. I told them that if the changes were incorporated, I would not lend my name to the film", says Pathak. The film was conveniently finished without giving the due credit to Neeraj. Even the publicity material nowhere acknowledges Pathak and Saigal has gone ahead with the music release of the film. "If they want to pay me, they can do so. Even though I have shot 90 per cent of the film, it's true that I didn't complete it and did not do the post-production either," adds a remorseful Neeraj. As far as the producer is concerned, he refused to talk about the issue but agreed that his elder brother, Mukesh Sehgal, completed the film. Actor Jackie Shroff stars as the lead male artist in the film with a couple of kids. Slated for a Diwali release, the film also marks the debut of Baba Sehgal as the music director.
