Tony and Deeya Singh's Left Right Left is facing more crisis. First it was Rajeev Khandelwal threatening to quit, then it was the rest of the cast pressurising them for a salary hike and now the captain of the ship - director Anshuman Singh. Singh, who made the serial a big hit with the youngsters, has opted out of the show.
According to insiders, the director had numerous problems with the creative team. Says our source, "Anshuman Singh used to handle Left Right Left singlehandedly, unlike other serials that always have two-three directors. It was too much pressure for him, besides the creative director never co-operated with Anushuman."
Growing differences with the creative team and too much pressure took a toll on him. "When Anshuman decided to quit, Tony and Deeya offered him huge package, but he declined as he did not want to compromise."
When contacted, Anshuman. said, "I have done enough episodes for Left Right Left. But, I guess, it's time to move on."
But this is not the end of the woes for LRL. Another actress Priya Arya who plays Lolitha in the action-packed series, has decided to quit the show. Apparently she has been busy and is unable to provide enough dates to LFL.
Confirms the actress, "I was getting too busy with Kasturi and couldn't make enough time for LRL. It was better for me to back off. It was unfair of me to cause them delays."
