The production of Son of Sardaar 2 has encountered significant disruptions due to actor Vijay Raaz’s reported behavior on set. The highly anticipated comic caper, starring Ajay Devgn and a prominent ensemble cast, began filming in London. However, tensions have risen as Vijay Raaz’s conduct with the film’s producers and crew has reportedly led to his removal from the project.
Vijay Raaz Removed from Son of Sardaar 2 Amidst On-Set Disputes
According to sources involved with the production, Vijay Raaz created a series of issues related to his on-set demands. Kumar Mangat Pathak, co-producer of Son of Sardaar 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, confirmed these reports in a recent statement. Kumar Mangat Pathak explained that Vijay Raaz’s behavior and demands were the primary reasons for his dismissal from the film.
Kumar Mangat Pathak detailed several incidents that contributed to the decision. He stated that Vijay Raaz insisted on more luxurious accommodations than other cast members, requesting premium suites while the rest were given standard rooms. Despite the high costs associated with filming in the UK, the actor demanded these higher-class amenities and refused to accept the logistical constraints presented by the production team.
Vijay Raaz’s demands extended to staffing and logistics
Additionally, Vijay Raaz’s demands extended to staffing and logistics. He reportedly overcharged the production for his spot boy, whose nightly rate of Rs. 20,000 far exceeded what was typically paid. Vijay Raaz also requested two cars for a small team of three, a demand that the production team found unreasonable given their budget constraints.
Kumar Mangat Pathak recounted that when the executive producer denied these requests, Vijay Raaz’s response was notably rude and confrontational. Vijay Raaz’s behavior did not improve despite attempts to address his demands, ultimately leading the production team to conclude that his continued presence was untenable.
