'Ek Villain' Director Mohit Suri Says Sidharth Bharadwaj Did Not Want To Take Punch From Sidharth Malhotra, 'Splitsvilla' Star Reacts
The feud between Sidharth Bharadwaj and Mohit Suri continues to go on.
It looks like the feud between 'Splitsvilla' star Sidharth Bharadwaj and 'Ek Villain' director Mohit Suri is not coming to an end anytime soon. It all started with Sidharth Bharadwaj complaining about his role in Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh-starrer 'Ek Villain'. Then Mohit Suri dismissed all the claims and he went on to term the actor as "unprofessional" and he also claimed that Sidharth Bharadwaj had refused to take a punch from Sidharth Malhotra in the movie.
In an interview with ETimes, the director said: "No, that’s not true. He didn’t want to get beaten or even take a punch from Sidharth Malhotra in an action scene. And he did that on the day of the shoot. Sidharth Malhotra didn’t even know about this. But it was highly unprofessional for him to create a tantrum on the eve of the shoot, when the shot had to be taken. So I made my assistant director play the part. We didn’t even have time get another actor."
"Both the Sidharths must have known each other in the past, and they might be roommates or friends and somehow Sidharth Bhardwaj didn’t want to play the part. His words were, ‘It is not good for my image to get beaten up or get a punch from by Sidharth Malhotra’. It was uncalled for," he added.
In the latest entertainment news, Sidharth Bharadwaj has now reacted to the statement of Mohit Suri. The 'Splitsvilla' star posted a video on Instagram, in which he made fun of the director.
"Mohit sir, Ram Ram. Aap kehte the main ek inconsequential actor hoon, aapko meri koi zarurat nahi hai, thoda bahut toh jalwa hai mera, maine 7 samandar paar baithe baithe aapki photo har newspaper me chapwa di hai. Kaun aata tha aapke bure time me itna kaam? Ab ek free ki advice bhi lelo aap," Sidharth Bharadwaj said in the video.
"Iss photo ko dikha ke kisi financer ko bottle me uttar lena aur picture ke naam pe paise bhi le lena. 80 per cent picture me laga dena, or 20 per cent ki mere naam pe supari mat de dena. Me videsh me betha hu, visa lagta hain yahan aane ka. Uss 20 per cent bache hue paise ki english dictionary leni hai, jisse aap inconsequential word ka matlab samajh jao. Baaki party karo, publicity mili hai. Bhatt sahab ko bhi namashkar," he added.
Talking about Sidharth Bharadwaj, he first came to limelight after winning the second season of MTV's reality show 'Splitsvilla'.
He then made an appearance in 'Bigg Boss 5' in 2011 and he ended up finishing as the second runner-up.
