Priyadarshan DISMISSES Rumours That Akshay Kumar Cut Tabu’s Role In Bhooth Bangla

Filmmaker Priyadarshan recently addressed rumours claiming that Tabu was upset with her screen time in his latest release, Bhooth Bangla. While Tabu’s performance in the film has been widely appreciated by audiences, reports were suggesting she was unhappy because a significant portion of her role was allegedly edited out, resulting in reduced screen presence despite extensive shooting. Priyadarshan has now firmly denied these claims. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he stated, “I don’t know why and who is spreading this negative news. I am the director of Bhooth Bangla, and I decide what to keep and what not to. The film is a big success, but yet, some are trying to spread negativity. Tabu is not upset at all. I have done eight films with her, and if she was upset, she would have told me. She is happy. Everything she shot for is a part of the film.” There were also rumours that Tabu’s role was trimmed at the behest of Akshay Kumar to give him more screen time. Clarifying this, Priyadarshan emphasised, “Also, Akshay didn’t ask me to edit any part; he never does. I do my work with honesty, and every actor comes and sees the film before the release. Whoever is spreading such rumours should be ashamed.” What Did Priyadarshan Say About Tabu’s Role? Regarding Tabu’s role, Priyadarshan previously said in a conversation with Mid-Day ahead of the film’s release, “She looks as beautiful in it as she did in Virasat (1997). Without Tabu’s character, there’s no logic in the story.” The director and Tabu have collaborated on several films, including Kaalapani (1996), Virasat (1997), Hera Pheri (2000), and Snegithiye (2000). About Bhooth Bangla Bhooth Bangla features Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Manoj Joshi. The horror-comedy has crossed Rs 120 crore at the domestic box office within two weeks. Directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Ektaa Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar, the film also marks the reunion of Priyadarshan and Akshay after 16 years since Khatta Meetha (2010).
