Chunky Panday's 'Tridev' Role Lost Due to Financial Disagreement
A movie director named Rajiv Rai shared how actor Chunky Panday missed out on a role in the film 'Tridev.'
Rai said that Panday wanted more money and was unwilling to compromise.
Rai described him as a 'miser' due to his negotiations over a small sum of money.
Though the deal fell through for that particular film, the director and actor worked together later.
This shows how decisions about money can affect opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Director Rajiv Rai revealed Chunky Panday lost a role in 'Tridev' due to money issues.
Rai described Panday as 'kanjoos' (miser) for haggling over 1-2 lakh rupees.
Panday reportedly wanted to do the film but asked for more money, which Rai refused.
Rai considered casting Panday after things didn't work out with Sanjay Dutt.
Despite the issue, Rai later worked with Panday in 'Vishwatma'.
