Mouni Roy quits Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s ‘Bole Chudiyan’

MUMBAI: Mouni Roy is no longer a part of Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming film “Bole Chudiyaan”, the makers and the actor announced on Friday blaming each other for unprofessional behaviour.

The producer of the film, Rajesh Bhatia claimed that Mouni was being “irresponsible”, while the actor’s spokesperson alleged that the makers were unprofessional and not her.

“We have invested big amount of money and if asking someone in a civil manner to be professional and committed to the role is being rude than sorry we are in the serious business of making movies with high stakes and it’s not a hobby.

“The actor, director, me and Kiran (Bhatia) as content head and as producers did our best to reason out with her about lack of her professionalism and dedication but she suddenly lost cool and was ill tempered,” Bhatia claimed in a statement.

The 33-year-old actor, who made her big screen debut with Akshay Kumar’s “Gold”, was roped in to play the female lead opposite Nawaz in March this year.

However, in response to Bhatia’s claims her spokesperson has said the actor had not even signed the contract for the film because of “discrepancies” in it. (AGENCIES)
