Nadiawala realised how KJo skewed the movie and demanded answers ...and KJo tried to blame the director, which Sajid didn't buy. He knows KJo interfered and changed the script and direction ( I think same will happen to TAKHT- once naration and casting is done, KJo will change script to give more space and prominence to Kareena and Alia roles.. and ask his assistant directors and script writers to focus more on Alia and Kareena..So THAT script will be changed too. Ranveer and Vicky won't know what hit them when they see the 'FINAL CUT')3. KJo was trying a new thing- use a mnish mash of old ideas and historical look and try sell it as grand historical. If it works he takes the praise if it doesn't he blames the director etc. That's why he waited until the end, trying to fix it. When he saw that no matter how you edit it,. it's still shoddy.. he started distancing himself from the project. TAKHT will face same problem IMO.
