In the same interview, the senior director was asked about the ending of the same film. The question referred to the scene where Sahir Khan talks about his friend Billu, but the latter simply leaves the event. When the fan stated that the emotions portrayed weren’t conveyed to the audience, the director admitted that since there were too many songs in the movie, the screenplay was compromised.
“I only made one mistake in the film. I put so many songs, which I shouldn’t have. So, the screenplay became a little loose,” Priyadarshan added. He went on to explain that it was one of the most tear-jerking situations in Indian cinema, but that didn’t land, as expected.
Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla
Priyadarshan’s next is Bhooth Bangla with Akshay Kumar. The teaser of the upcoming film just dropped, and it’s a laugh riot. Apart from Akki, the horror-comedy also stars Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, Manoj Joshi, Mithila Palkar, and others. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 10, 2026. Next up, the filmmaker-screenwriter has Saif Ali Khan’s Haiwaan in the pipeline.
