kapoor) How Did Boney Kapoor React? Reacting to Warsi’s statement, Kapoor said, “I read his statement, and I laughed. 1992 mein shoot kiya aur yeh abhi baat kar raha hai iske baare mein. At that time, he was not a star.
Who would have paid him such a huge amount? It was Pankaj Parashar who directed the full title. It was divided into two parts. It was shot in James Bond style, and a part of it was done in Singapore or Hong Kong.
There were too many things happening, and Tutu Sharma was handling the production.” Kapoor then added, “We thought that it would take four days, but Pankaj (Parashar) finished it in three. I didn’t even remember this episode.
He was paid Rs. 25,000 per day. Hence, he was paid Rs.
75,000 for three days. It was not, like, he was promised a certain amount..
.We were a part of a TV show together. Malaika Arora and Farah Khan were also a part of it.
He never mentioned it and, now, suddenly he talks about it. Everybody wants media attention now, and I’m a soft target.” A post shared by Arshad Warsi (@arshad_warsi) In fact, even Pankaj Parashar spoke to Bollywood Hungama and said it was him who completed the song in three days.
Parashar said he was “The director while he (Warsi) was a newcomer choreographer.” Parashar added that Warsi “Didn’t control the shoot.” What Did Arshad Warsi Say? Earlier, Warsi had said, “The production person asked me to finish the song sooner, because shooting for four days would increase costs.
I told him I’ll try my best, and we worked very hard to get the song done, but we finished in three days. I thought that the production would be happy. I went to get my check, and they gave me Rs.
75,000. I said, ‘I just saved you an entire day’s shoot, you should pay me more.’ He said, ‘No, for four days it’s Rs.
1 lakh, and for three days it’s Rs. 75,000.’” See Also: Arshad Warsi Recalls Boney Kapoor's Production House Paying Rs.
