Vijay Raaz Removed from 'Son of Sardaar 2' Following Misconduct Claims

Vijay Raaz has reportedly been ousted from 'Son of Sardaar 2' over alleged misbehavior on set. Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak attributed the decision to Raaz's excessive demands and inappropriate conduct. However, Vijay Raaz has asserted that his removal was due to his failure to greet Ajay Devgn. Ajay Devgn recently announced the commencement of shooting for 'Son of Sardaar 2'. In this context, it has been reported that Vijay Raaz, who had a significant role in the film, has been removed. Kumar Mangat Pathak, the film’s co-producer, confirmed to Pinkvilla that Raaz was dismissed due to his conduct on set. Pathak explained, "Yes, it's accurate that Vijay Raaz has been removed from the film because of his behavior. He requested larger rooms, a vanity van, and charged excessively for his spot boy. In fact, his spot boy was paid Rs. 20,000 per night, which is more than what is given to major actors. Despite the high costs in the UK, where everyone received standard rooms, Raaz insisted on premium suites." He added, "When we attempted to explain the cost situation to him, he refused to understand and was quite rude. His recurring response was, ‘Aap logo ne mujhe approach kiya, main kaunsa saamne se aya kaam maangne’ (You approached me; I didn’t come asking for work). Despite our efforts to meet his demands, his behavior deteriorated as his requests continued. He even demanded two cars for a team of three. We couldn’t accommodate that, and when the Executive Producer refused, Raaz was disrespectful towards them. After numerous discussions, we decided to remove him from the project.” READ MORE -  Explaining the J&K Election Schedule Delay: CEC Rajiv Kumar on Why It Exceeds the SC's Deadline
