Neeraj Pathak, director of Bhoot Unkle is no more in the movie. He was forced to walk out of the movie after his disagreement with its producers. He left the movie when it was almost complete with only three days of shooting left.

Both the director and producers, Mukesh and Sumeet Saigal are good friends. But the distaste popped up when they asked Neeraj to incorporate some changes in the movie. He didn't yield in and the result is in front of you. He had to wash his hands of the money and credits.

Later Mukesh Saigal one of the producers completed the movie. This movie is all set to release during diwali. Recently, Saigals held grant music release function. Neeraj was not invited to the function. To add to the woes they have even removed the name of Neeraj from the film's credits.

But all the roads are not closed for the writer turned director Neeraj Pathak. He has already made his debut with the movie 'Gumnaam'. He is also penning down a story for Deol's 'Apne'.

'Bhoot Unkle', which is a children's movie has Jackie Shroeff along with a bunch of kids in the lead role. Well-known rapper Baba Saigal is making his foray in to music direction with this movie.
