Akshaye Khanna Exits Drishyam 3 Amid Contract Dispute
Akshaye Khanna left the movie Drishyam 3 because he and the producers couldn't agree on some things.
He wanted a wig and more money, but the director said the wig wouldn't work for the story.
After some back and forth, Akshaye decided to quit.
The producers are also upset because they think Akshaye took too much credit for the success of another movie he was in, called Dhurandhar.
The producers might even take legal action against him.
Akshaye Khanna exited Drishyam 3 due to contractual disagreements with the producers.
He demanded a wig and a pay hike, which the director found impractical for the film's continuity.
Khanna initially agreed to let go of the wig demand but later insisted on it again.
The producer, Kumar Mangat Pathak, accused Khanna of taking credit for the success of Dhurandhar.
Pathak hinted at initiating legal action against Khanna for his behavior.
