Following Priyadarshan’s remarks, Nadiadwala said that he “kept silence all these years out of respect for Priyaan and because the film became a blockbuster.” However, Nadiadwala said that he is now forced to open Pandora’s box.

“How can he talk about turning down the second and third part when he didn’t even do the first film?” Nadiadwala asked rhetorically. He further added, “Priyadarshan gave me a film with a runtime of three hours and 40 minutes and was full of depressing scenes. He was absent during dubbing and background music recording.
