Before starting the film, Akshay asked me to check with both Paresh and Suniel and I did and both were onboard,\" He added \"I don\'t have anything to lose but Akshay has invested money and that could be the reason why he is taking this action. Paresh Rawal hasn\'t spoken to me till date.\"\r\nParesh Rawal however said , \"I am not aware of this yet.\" He clarified &ldquo;I know it came as a shock to many. We three make a great combination with Priyadarshanji directing us, but the fact is that I opted out because today I don&rsquo;t feel like a part of it.&rdquo;\r\nReports have it that Paresh Rawal demanded a whopping Rs 25crs as remuneration and this did not go down well with Akshay Kumar.

We are in the middle of this film, and this is the biggest shock.\"\r\nHe continued \"We were going to begin shooting next year. We had already started, in fact. We shot a promo. It\'s a big thing.
