AJAY DEVGN REACTS TO TANUSHREE’S LETTER

Tanushree Dutta has circulated an open letter criticising Ajay Devgn for retaining Alok Nath in his upcoming movie, De De Pyaar De, amidst the #MeToo accusations against Nath. Ajay Devgn has responded to the letter by saying that replacing Nath would have caused a huge monetary loss for the makers.

He said that the movie was slated to release in October 2018 and was wrapped up by September. Alok had already finished his scenes by August 2018. Alok’s scenes were shot over 40 days in Manali. By the time the accusations came afloat in October 2018, most of the actors had already started shooting for other films. Hence it was nearly impossible to to take out dates and reshoot the scenes with another actor replacing Nath.

“It would also have been a huge monetary loss for producers. The decision to replace Alok Nath could never have been mine alone. In this case, I had to go with the joint decision of the unit. Not to forget, I could not have brought the entire combination of actors back or put up sets again for a 40-day re-shoot. Also, it could have meant doubling of budget, which again wasn’t my call to make,” he added.

He also emphasised the fact that he was extremely sensitive to and supportive of the whole #MeToo movement and he has not gone down his words when he spoke in support of the movement last year. But things were not solely in his hands to control.

Ajay had refused to comment in this regard previously when questioned about the same at the trailer launch of the film earlier.Tanushree had called Ajay “morally bankrupt and a spineless hypocrite”.

The movie directed by Akiv Ali,written and produced by Luv Ranjan, will be releasing on May 17.
