In a fiery interview with Bollywood Bubble, veteran filmmaker-producer Suneel Darshan reveals what went wrong in his association with Akshay Kumar, to his upcoming films with newcomers, ‘Andaaz 2’. Suneel throws light on how Akshay begged him for work back in the 90s, giving him a chance in 1999’s ‘Jaanwar’ and belting out 7 films in 7 years starring Khiladi Kumar! He explains how other directors treated Akshay poorly back in the day, how success transformed the now superstar, and how they haven’t been in touch for over 20 years. The director, in conversation with host Ankita Bhalla, shares how he zeroed in on Priyanka Chopra for 2003’s ‘Andaaz’, predicting her success over co-star Lara Dutta and guiding her to pick ‘Aitraaz’ negative role.
