ok so this is wat kangna had to say about sonu soods exit
However, when we got in touch with Kangana for the clarification, she told us, "Sonu and I haven't even met since the last shot with Krish (director) last year. He is busy filming Simmba. He couldn't even give us tentative dates to match combinations with other actors. The producers showed him the film and writers narrated the patchwork to him...he refused to meet me ...he vehemently denied to work under a woman director... which is kind of amusing because Sonu is a dear friend and I have even launched the music of a film that he produced on his request... even though the team suggested that they have full faith in me, it seems, Sonu had neither dates nor faith."
She added, "And when I last spoke to him he suggested that I can go ahead with someone else and when I narrated the script to Zeeshan Ayyub he called the studio and gave the dates. By that time it was too late as Zeeshan gave me dates for September. Now I hear I had a showdown with him... when I never met him, never directed him ... when did I have this showdown?"
When asked if the portions shot with him earlier will now be reshot? Kangana added, "Yes, none of the portions he has shot before will be used because he has spiked hair with gel in his hair (for Manikarnika)..so the new team of DOP and editors and our writers of Manikarnika have discarded those scenes so I have to shoot all of that anyway so it's easy to get another actor on board. Who keeps spiked hair for a period film?"
Kangana also revealed that Sonu decided to incorporate a few Kushti scenes which we never there in the script earlier. The actor said, "He himself wrote his scenes of Kushti...like Dangal...which were never in the script. He and director shot a lot of stuff which was never in the script and writers discarded those. is it my fault? Am I writing the film? He wanted the producers to retain the kushti portions as he made the body for it for 4 months. How did I know that is happening behind my back. When writers saw the film they said they don't want it."
Kangana also took this chance to clarify once again about the whole clapboard confusion that happened recently, where her name was mentioned as the director. Kangana revealed, "One more thing I never asked anyone to put my name on clapboard it's AD's business ... person on the floor is in charge, is answerable for many things that must have been the idea but constant attacks while I am going through a difficult phase is not acceptable ..." Hoping to put all this behind, Kangana says, "I am just a slave in Manikarnika s hands I am doing this only for her ... I have made it clear to everyone"
And here is sonu soods response
Kangana also said that Sonu had "denied" working under a woman director. Now, a source close to the actor has clarified, "Sonu who is currently working on Rohit Shetty's Simmba, was recently asked to reshoot portions for Manikarnika by co-star Kangana Ranaut. The source added that despite the change in the team, the script and the role, Sonu was ready to accommodate the request of the makers to reshoot for a portion for which he was asked to clean shave. The actor reportedly suggested filming the portions that required him to sport a clean-shaved look post his Simmba schedule.
The source added, "Sonu has always been very committed to all his projects and does what is required for his films. He could not accommodate the new dates and redo his look for Manikarnika, as he wasn't informed about it earlier. While he does understand the issues the makers of Manikarnika are facing, it would be unacceptable for any actor to reshoot portions and new scenes, owing to a change in director, the script and the role at the very last minute.
The actor's spokesperson stated, "Sonu has always been a thorough professional and honoured all his commitments. He had informed the makers of Manikarnika about his dates and schedule, well in advance. Inconveniencing the team of his current film, to accommodate the demands of another are against his professional principles. Sonu has taken the higher road ahead and wishes the team of Manikarnika all the best."
Meanwhile, producer Kamal Jain has issued a statement stating that Sonu and the makers decided to part ways mutually. He said, "Our team is totally focused and dedicated to finish the patchwork shoot to complete the film on time as our release date of 25th Jan 2019 is set in stone. The post-production and VFX are going on in full swing and as well as the balance and patch shoot. I have the utmost respect and love for Sonu and he is like family to us. With a heavy heart, we have mutually decided to part ways due to his date unavailability. He is a thorough professional and has his dates committed to Simmba which is also releasing in December. I would love to work with him in the future again."
