Did Akshaye Khanna play dirty politics

Akshaye Khanna is hogging the media limelight for all wrong reasons after the sensation of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar. it is known that following Dhurandhar success, Akshaye Khanna walked out of Drishyam3 and this prompted Drishyam 3 producer to sue him.

In the meantime, Section 375 writer Manish Gupta made startling allegations against Akshaye Khanna. He said "It took me 3 years to write Section 375. I sat in 160 court hearings. I did lots of research, met judges, lawyers and rape victims. I got the idea of the film from Shiney Ahuja's case. When he was arrested, I was in Mumbai. I rushed to the Oshiwara with my friend and we questioned the police about his arrest. I was told the law is not like this."

He continued "Sahi aur galat baad mein hai... Pehle arrest hoga. Tabhi law aisa tha (Right and wrong come later... first, there will be an arrest. That's how the law was back then). I said to myself, 'This is a very wrong thing' and decided to make a movie,"

Manish shared "I wrote the whole film. I did the entire pre-production. I even roped in Akshaye Khanna, Richa Chadha and Rahul Bhat and signed them. I am the director of the movie. But the producer and the lead actor played very dirty politics with me. I got credit only for writing. This is Bollywood."

He continued "Akshaye Khanna ki ego... Actor ka kya hai na...(Akshaye Khanna's ego...With actors, the thing is..) We have made them gods. The public doesn't care about the movie, but the actor. Akshaye is not a big star but usko bi sar pe chadaya jaata hai. Producer ke liye woh bhagwan jaisa tha (He was also given preferential treatment. For the producer, he was like a god). They don't care who is the director,"

He added "He is the most difficult person I have ever worked with. He is whimsical and lazy. Woh itna mushkil sa mahaul create karta hai ki... Har chiz uske hisab se honi chahiye. Kisi ki sunta nahi hai. Sabki beizzati karta hai. Actor accha hai par ek acha insaan hone mein farak hai. Uske sath koi kaam nahi karna chahta hai (He creates such a difficult environment that... everything has to be according to his wishes. He doesn't listen to anyone. He insults everyone. He's a good actor, but there's a difference between being a good actor and being a good person. Nobody wants to work with him) because they know how difficult he is to work with,"

He shared  "No one wants to give him the hero's role. Maine usko hero ka role diya. Itna acha script diya. Abhi ungrateful bolun ki kya bolun? Uski aise kaun si film aayi hai jismein woh solo hero hai? Usne mere sath hi aisa kiya. Usne bahut hi ghatiya harkat ki hai mere saath. (I gave him the lead role. I gave him such a great script. Now, should I call him ungrateful or what? Which of his films has he starred in as the solo hero? He only did this to me. He has done something very despicable to me.)

He continued "Akshaye and the producer, they did it together. The producer was under pressure from Akshaye. Actors want to control the movie. They want a puppet for a director,"
